Cryptography

a deterministic algorithm stretching a short random seed into a longer sequence that no efficient test can tell apart from true randomness.

In cryptography, pseudorandom generator refers to a deterministic algorithm stretching a short random seed into a longer sequence that no efficient test can tell apart from true randomness. This meaning comes from Blum (1984) in SIAM Journal on Computing.[1]
