👉 A holectypoid is a type of pseudorandom number generator used in cryptography. It is a probabilistic algorithm that uses a sequence of random numbers to generate pseudo-random bits, which are then used to create a message or data. The pseudorandomness is achieved by generating the next bit from the sequence of random numbers, and repeating this process until reaching a certain number of iterations. Holectypoids are often used in applications where high-quality randomness is required, such as cryptographic algorithms
