The IESG has received a request from the Transport Area Working Group WG (tsvwg) to consider the following document: - 'TinyMT32 Pseudo Random Number Generator (PRNG)' <draft-ietf-tsvwg-tinymt32-01.txt> as Proposed Standard
The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the [email protected] mailing lists by 2019-05-13. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to [email protected] instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract This document describes the TinyMT32 Pseudo Random Number Generator (PRNG) that produces 32-bit pseudo-random unsigned integers and aims at having a simple-to-use and deterministic solution. This PRNG is a small-sized variant of Mersenne Twister (MT) PRNG, also designed by M. Saito and M. Matsumoto. The main advantage of TinyMT32 over MT is the use of a small internal state, compatible with most target platforms including embedded devices, while keeping a reasonably good randomness. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-tsvwg-tinymt32/ IESG discussion can be tracked via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-tsvwg-tinymt32/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
