Cryptographic Randomization: The process of generating randomness that is used within cryptographic algorithms and protocols. It ensures unpredictability in keys, nonces, salts, and other values critical to secure encryption and other cryptographic operations. Good cryptographic randomization prevents attackers from guessing or reproducing the values, which would compromise security. It typically relies on sources of high entropy and algorithms known as cryptographic pseudo-random number generators (CSPRNGs).
