Go up one level in this thread


 It would be OK to concatenate if you used a cryptologically safe PRNG like x^2
mod M. But it is a tad unsound when using linear, fibonacci and generalized
shift feedback PRNGs.
 It would be sound for many purposes but in a Monte Carlo simulation it would
compromise the results.
