Abstract

Examples relate to identifying randomly generated character strings. In one example, a computing device may: receive a character string that includes two or more characters; identify a number of character transitions included in the character string, each character transition being a change in character type within an n-gram of the character string, where n is a positive integer; and determine, based on the number of character transitions, whether the character string was randomly generated.
