It is the most advanced of a 15series of array based random number generator designed by Robert Jenkins 16in 1996[^1][^2]. 17 18ISAAC is notably fast and produces excellent quality random numbers for 19non-cryptographic applications. 20 21Links: 22 23- [API documentation (master)](https://rust-random.github.io/rand/rand_isaac) 24- [API documentation (docs.rs)](https://docs.rs/rand_isaac) 25- [Changelog](CHANGELOG.md) 26 27[rand]: https://crates.io/crates/rand 28[^1]: Bob Jenkins, [*ISAAC: A fast cryptographic random number generator*](http://burtleburtle.net/bob/rand/isaacafa.html) 29[^2]: Bob Jenkins, [*ISAAC and RC4*](http://burtleburtle.net/bob/rand/isaac.html) 30 31 32## Crate Features 33 34`rand_isaac` is `no_std` compatible. It does not require any functionality 35outside of the `core` lib, thus there are no features to configure. 36 37The `serde1` feature includes implementations of `Serialize` and `Deserialize` 38for the included RNGs. 39 40 41# License 42 43`rand_isaac` is distributed under the terms of both the MIT license and the 44Apache License (Version 2.0). 45 46See [LICENSE-APACHE](LICENSE-APACHE) and [LICENSE-MIT](LICENSE-MIT), and 47[COPYRIGHT](COPYRIGHT) for details. 48
