Like maybe, what makes this cryptographically secure as opposed to the current best-of-breed PRNG, the Mersenne Twister.
Look, no need to attack me for this, I'm a Mersenne Twister fan myself, but the authors of the MT themselves say in big blinking letters do not use for cryptographic purposes. Surely you must have read that?

I have no idea if the algorithm here is suitable. The author himself says it is. That is clearly a difference in positioning. I have no use for cryptographic purposes, so I don't feel the need to investigate. And now, fuck off.
