Abstract:

We show that the pseudo-random number function, introduced by M. Naor and O. Reingold (FOCS, 1997), possesses one more attractive and useful property. Namely, it is proved that for almost all values of parameters it produces a uniformly distributed sequence. The proof is based on some recent bounds of character sums with exponential functions.
