ISAAC is a
pseudorandom number generator designed by
Bob Jenkins[?] to be
cryptographically secure. It uses an array of 256 4-byte integers called mm as internal state, writing the results to another 256-integer array, from which they are read one at a time until it's empty, at which point they are recomputed. The computation consists of altering mm[i] with mm[i^128], two elements of mm found by indirection, an accumulator, and a counter, for all values of i from 0 to 256.
