Abstract

Because of its significance in the formation of the core of encryption/decryption algorithms, the key derivation function (KDF) or pseudorandom number generator (PRNG) plays a major part in the cryptographic system. Random numbers are required for the usage of encryption and decryption techniques in a variety of network security applications. In this research we Focus on key generation functions, which are an important aspect of symmetric and asymmetric algorithms. Disgusting the background of PRNG basics and attempting to characterize and evaluate several publications that offer proposals for key generators.

Keywords

Key Derivation Function, Pseudorandom Number Generator (PRNG), Key Generation.
