ISAAC (cipher)

ISAAC (indirection, shift, accumulate, add, and count) is a cryptographically secure pseudorandom number generator and a stream cipher designed by Robert J. Jenkins Jr. in 1993. The reference implementation source code was dedicated to the public domain.

"I developed (...) tests to break a generator, and I developed the generator to pass the tests. The generator is ISAAC."
