-<p>Using pseudorandom number generators (PRNGs) is security-sensitive. For example, it has led in the past to the following vulnerabilities:</p>
+<p>PRNGs are algorithms that produce sequences of numbers that only approximate true randomness. While they are suitable for applications like
+simulations or modeling, they are not appropriate for security-sensitive contexts because their outputs can be predictable if the internal state is
+known.</p>
+<p>In contrast, cryptographically secure pseudorandom number generators (CSPRNGs) are designed to be secure against prediction attacks. CSPRNGs use
+cryptographic algorithms to ensure that the generated sequences are not only random but also unpredictable, even if part of the sequence or the
+internal state becomes known. This unpredictability is crucial for security-related tasks such as generating encryption keys, tokens, or any other
+values that must remain confidential and resistant to guessing attacks.</p>
+<p>For example, the use of non-cryptographic PRNGs has led to vulnerabilities such as:</p>

 <h2>Ask Yourself Whether</h2>
 <ul>
   <li> the code using the generated value requires it to be unpredictable. It is the case for all encryption mechanisms or when a secret value, such
   as a password, is hashed. </li>

 <h2>Recommended Secure Coding Practices</h2>
 <ul>
-  <li> Use functions which rely on a cryptographically strong random number generator such as <code>random_int()</code> or <code>random_bytes()</code>
-  or <code>openssl_random_pseudo_bytes()</code> </li>
-  <li> When using <code>openssl_random_pseudo_bytes()</code>, provide and check the <code>crypto_strong</code> parameter </li>
+  <li> Use functions which rely on a cryptographically secure pseudo random number generator (CSPRNG) such as <code>random_int()</code> or
+  <code>random_bytes()</code> or <code>openssl_random_pseudo_bytes()</code>. </li>
+  <li> When using <code>openssl_random_pseudo_bytes()</code>, provide and check the <code>crypto_strong</code> parameter. </li>
   <li> Use the generated random values only once. </li>
   <li> You should not expose the generated random value. If you have to store it, make sure that the database or file is secure. </li>
 </ul>
 <h2>Sensitive Code Example</h2>
 <pre>
-$random = rand();
-$random2 = mt_rand(0, 99);
+$random = rand(); // Sensitive
+$random2 = mt_rand(0, 99); // Sensitive
 </pre>
 <h2>Compliant Solution</h2>
 <pre>
-$randomInt = random_int(0,99); // Compliant; generates a cryptographically secure random integer
