Abstract

We investigate pseudorandom number generators based on block ciphers in counter mode of operation. An idealized abstraction is applied which models the block cipher as a random permutation. We computed the number of output sequences of the idealized generators and estimated the conditional probability for the next symbol to appear given a prefix. In particular, we computed lower and upper bounds for that conditional probability.
