I'm looking for a way to generate large random numbers on the order of 2^64 in C. (100000000 - 999999999), to use in a public key encryption algorithm (as p and q). I do not want to generate a number smaller than 2^64 (that is, smaller than 100000000). Is there anything that could help me to do this? Using modulo may introduce bias into the random numbers, depending on the random number generator. See this question for more info. Of course, it's perfectly possible to get repeating numbers in a random sequence. Try some C11 features for better distribution. I know there are a lot of links and tutorials on this topic, but I can't seem to write working code to produce a random number from 1-6 (For a Petals.
