Pseudorandom

A process or data produced by a process is said to be pseudorandom when the outcome is deterministic yet also effectively random as long as the internal action of the process is hidden from observation. For cryptographic purposes, “effectively random” means “computationally indistinguishable from random within the limits of the intended security strength.”
