Q: Why most authenticated encryption primitives expect an unpredictable and uniformly random key in order to be secure?

EugeneI've noticed that keys for authenticated encryption primitives like AES must be unpredictable and uniformly random in order to be secure. IV values and seeds for PRNGs also have to be unpredictable and random. My question is: How those unpredictable and random values are different from predictabl...
