  "definition": "1. A device or algorithm that can produce a sequence of bits that appear to be both statistically independent and unbiased.\n\n2. A device or algorithm that outputs bits that are computationally indistinguishable from bits that are independent and unbiased.\n\n3. Random Bit Generator\n\n4. A device or algorithm that outputs a sequence of bits that appears to be statistically independent and unbiased. Also, see Random number generator.\n\n5. A device or algorithm that outputs a sequence of binary bits that appears to be statistically independent and unbiased. An RBG is either a DRBG or an NRBG.\n\n6. A device or algorithm that outputs a random sequence that is effectively indistinguishable from statistically independent and unbiased bits. An RBG is classified as either a DRBG or an NRBG.\n\n7. A device or algorithm that outputs a sequence of bits that appears to be statistically independent and unbiased.\n\n8. A device or algorithm that outputs a sequence of bits that appears to be statistically independent and unbiased. Also see Random number generator.\n\n9. A device or algorithm that outputs a sequence of bits that appear to be statistically independent and unbiased. Also, see Random number generator.",
