In cryptography and the theory of computation, the next-bit test ^[1] is a test against pseudo-random number generators. We say that a sequence of bits passes the next bit test for at any position ${\displaystyle i}$ in the sequence, if an attacker knows the ${\displaystyle i}$ first bits, he cannot predict the ${\displaystyle (i+1)}$st with reasonnable computational power.
