full-entropy bitstring

Term · Cybersecurity · MLC-T-CYB-001819

A bitstring with ideal randomness (i.e., the amount of entropy per bit is equal to 1). This publication proves that a bitstring satisfying a certain definition of full entropy has an entropy rate of at least 1-ε, where ε is at most 2^-32.
