- Distribution ensemble
-
In cryptography, a distribution ensemble or probability ensemble is a family of distributions or random variables where I is a (countable) index set, and each Xi is a random variable, or probability distribution. Often and it is required that each Xn have a certain property for n sufficiently large.
A uniform ensemble is a distribution ensemble, uniformly distributed over strings of length n.
