Pseudo-random

The difference between true random number generators(TRNGs) and pseudo-random number generators(PRNGs) is that TRNGs use an unpredictable physical means to generate numbers (like atmospheric noise), and pseudo-random numbers are sets of algorithms that utilize mathematical formulas to produce a certain sequence of numbers that will appear random, or at least will have the effect of randomness.
