Why is the following RSA PRNG cryptographically secure?

One requirement states that the generator has to withstand the next-bit test. Consider the following PRNG, where we calculate next output $x_i$ via the formula $x_i = x_{i-1}^ e\mod n$. I can see ...

LFSR for small numbers with large periods

I want to generate a few random numbers using an LFSR. However, the LFSR output depends on the number of taps, so for a large period I use large (relative) number of bits. This causes the numbers to ...

Are there any standards of multi-prime RSA key generation?

FIPS 186-3 specifies a method to generate DSA parameters. Is there anything similar (official standard or widely-accepted recommendation) that shows how to generate the primes for multi-prime RSA?

How to prove that the concatenation of two secure PRG is secure?

Given $G:\{0,1\}^s \rightarrow \{0, 1\}^n$ a secure PRG, how can one prove that $G'(k_1, k_2) = G(k_1) \cdot G(k_2)$ is secure ($\cdot$ means concatenation)? In other words, I'd like to show that if ...
