A measure of the disorder or randomness in a closed system. The entropy of uncertainty of a random variable X with probabilities pi, …, pn is defined to be H(X)=-∑_(i=1)^n 〖p_i log〖 p〗_i 〗

A measure of the amount of uncertainty an attacker faces to determine the value of a secret. Entropy is usually stated in bits. A value havingnbits of entropy has the same degree of uncertainty as a uniformly distributedn-bit random value.

A measure of the amount of uncertainty an attacker faces to determine the value of a secret. Entropy is usually stated in bits. A value having n bits of entropy has the same degree of uncertainty as a uniformly distributed n-bit random value.
