Logistic map: A possible random-number generator

Logistic map: A possible random-number generator.

The logistic map is one of the simple systems exhibiting order to chaos transition. In this work we have investigated the possibility of using the logistic map in the chaotic regime (logmap) for a pseudo random number generator. To this end we have performed certain statistical tests on the series of numbers obtained from the logmap. We find that the logmap passes these tests satisfactorily and...

"Cracking" a Random Number Generator

[Editor’s Note: This paper was original printed in the January 1977, Volume I, Number 1, issue of Cryptologia (pp. 20-26) the premier issue. Over the years this one article has drawn more interest than any other article and requests for reprints of the paper come in year after year. The editors thought it appropriate to offer this paper to our readers. The original paper was set using WordStar ...

Zigzag map: A variability-aware discrete-time chaotic-map truly random number generator

In this letter, we present a circuit implementation for the discrete-time zigzag map, which exhibits high speed, low power consumption, and above all resilience to process variations. Circuit parameter variations result in alteration of the chaotic map parameters, such as the slope and the location of the breakpoints in the map, which in turn degrade the randomness of the generated bit sequence...

Random Number Generator Recommendation

The generation of uniform pseudo-random numbers between 0 and 1 is important in many numerical simulations. The purpose of this report is to explore the best generator(s) of such random numbers in terms of statistical properties and speed. While attempting to find the best generator in general, the specific goal of this report is to find the best generator for Latin hypercube sampling [Iman and...
