Random number generation is an important topic due to its applications in cryptography and simulation. There is a dearth of books exclusively dealing with the problem of random number generation. The problem of random number generation is broadly classified into true and pseudo random number generation. We present a good introduction to and critical review of the problem of pseudo random number generation(PRNG). We also include a novel algorithm Providence and its comparison with state of the art PRNG algorithms.

Cybercrime is increasing in various forms and scales all around the world. In this work, I give a brief introduction of cyber crimes and explain the important security attacks and the modus operandi of cyber criminals. I present an introductory technical discussion of cyber crimes and their possible counter measures, and the basics of the legal framework in India to tackle the cyber crime. Then the prevalence of cyber crime in Indian context is discussed.
