Not quite "all prng applications." As TapamN points out it is not cryptographically secure and can be broken. https://hal.inria.fr/hal-02700791/ https://hal.in

But it's probably fine for non-crytographic uses (and indeed is widely used for such).
[parent comment has now added "non-crypto" to the original quote so that "all prng applications" is now moot]
- bawolff 6y agoUsually people say CSPRNG if its secure for crypto applications. Just saying PRNG kind of implies its not cryptographically secure
- dwohnitmok 6y agoFair enough.
