Abstract:Cellular automaton (CA) as a discrete and deterministic dynamic system has been widely used in cryptography. In this paper, a novel triple-coupling CA model is proposed. We first apply the triple-coupling model to 1D CA to design a high-quality pseudo-random number generator (PRNG). Numerical simulation and analyses show that triple-coupling CA exhibits more complex evolutionary behavior than uncoupling CA. The pseudo-random sequence generated by triple-coupling 1D CA can pass all NIST SP800-22 tests. Subseque… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
