Cryptography? PRNG’s?
I can understand that you would want to exclude this point due to the Pandora’s Box that could be opened against evolution.

“And so, random operations of chance totally fail in the origination of complex specified informational molecules in living things. The opposite of "randomness" and "chance" ----is NOT chance ----which is the same as intentionality and willful purposefulness. Thus, it would seem that anyone with an open mind to the facts of the situation would deduct that an intelligent designer is the only logical explanation for the initial origin of much (or at least some) of the complex specified information in biological systems. This conclusion is not arrived at by irrational faith, but the deduction comes from a calm evaluation of empirical facts rigorously verified in the laboratory and analyzed by accepted logic and mathematical probability procedures. “

If you are interested

I see you are quoting from:

Mere Creation conference, originally titled "Redesigning Science."
William A. Dembski, Ph.D.
Center for the Philosophy of Religion, University of Notre Dame

The linked article makes claims but does nothing to substantiate them.

I do not exclude pseudo-random number generators nor cryptographic work. Perhaps you could explain how the existence (or non-existence) of a pseudo-random number generator has bearing on evolutionary biology.
