Detailed Description

Class file for Mersenne Twister.

Warning

MersenneTwister is suitable for Monte-Carlo simulations, where uniformaly distributed numbers are required quickly. It should not be used for cryptographic purposes.

Since

Crypto++ 5.6.3

Typedef Documentation

MT19937

typedef MersenneTwister<0x9908B0DF , 397, 624, 0x10DCD , 4537> MT19937

Original MT19937 generator provided in the ACM paper.

MT19937 uses 4537 as default initial seed.

You should reseed the generator after a fork() to avoid multiple generators with the same internal state.

MT19937ar

typedef MersenneTwister<0x9908B0DF , 397, 624, 0x6C078965 , 5489> MT19937ar

Updated MT19937 generator adapted to provide an array for initialization.

MT19937 uses 5489 as default initial seed. Use this generator when interoperating with C++11's mt19937 class.

You should reseed the generator after a fork() to avoid multiple generators with the same internal state.
