| Jan 12, 2012 at 17:06 | comment | added | Thomas Pornin | @PulpSpy: it might be a gallicism (i.e. a French term which I did not care to translate to English). "Alea" itself is latin for "fate" or "randomness". "Pseudo-alea" means "looks like random bits, but are generated through a deterministic process with an unknown seed". | |
