Blum, Lenore (1942- ); Manuel Blum, (1938- ); Michael Shub (1943- ). A simple unpredictable pseudo-random number generator. Offprint from SIAM Journal of Computing 15 (1986). 364-383pp. 255 x 175 mm. Original printed wrappers. Fine.

First Edition, Offprint Issue. The Blum Blum Shub (BBS) pseudorandom number generator, proposed in 1986 by Lenore Blum, Manuel Blum and Michael Shub, "is based on the operation of squaring numbers modulo the products of two large primes. Its security can be reduced to the computational hardness assumption that integer factorization is infeasible." See the Wikipedia page for Blum Blum Shub. From the library of Martin Davis.
