Summary: | A random number generator is proposed based on a theorem about existence of
chaos in fixed point iteration of x= cot2(x). Digital computer simulation of
this function iteration exhibits random behavior. A method is proposed to
extract random bytes from this simulation. Diehard and NIST test suite for
randomness detection is run on this bytes, and it is found to pass all the
tests in the suite. Thus, this method qualifies even for cryptographic quality
random number generation. |
