1 First of all, let $f: \Bool^{{\mathsf{N}}} \rightarrow \Bool^{{\mathsf{N}}}$.
2 It has been shown~\cite[Theorem 4]{bcgr11:ip} that
3 if its iteration graph $\Gamma(f)$ is strongly connected, then
4 the output of $\chi_{\textit{14Secrypt}}$ follows
5 a law that tends to the uniform distribution
6 if and only if its Markov matrix is a doubly stochastic matrix.
9 In~\cite[Section 4]{DBLP:conf/secrypt/CouchotHGWB14},
10 we have presented an efficient
11 approach which generates
12 function with strongly connected iteration graph $\Gamma(f)$ and
13 with doubly stochastic Markov probability matrix.
15 Basically, let consider the ${\mathsf{N}}$-cube. Let us next
16 remove one Hamiltonian cycle in this one. When an edge $(x,y)$
17 is removed, an edge $(x,x)$ is added.
20 For instance, the iteration graph $\Gamma(f^*)$
21 (given in Figure~\ref{fig:iteration:f*})
22 is the $3$-cube in which the Hamiltonian cycle
23 $000,100,101,001,011,111,110,010,000$
27 We first have proven the following result, which
28 states that the ${\mathsf{N}}$-cube without one
30 has the awaited property with regard to the connectivity.
33 The iteration graph $\Gamma(f)$ issued from
34 the ${\mathsf{N}}$-cube where an Hamiltonian
35 cycle is removed is strongly connected.
38 Moreover, if all the transitions have the same probability ($\frac{1}{n}$),
39 we have proven the following results:
41 The Markov Matrix $M$ resulting from the ${\mathsf{N}}$-cube in
43 cycle is removed, is doubly stochastic.
46 Let us consider now a ${\mathsf{N}}$-cube where an Hamiltonian
48 Let $f$ be the corresponding function.
49 The question which remains to solve is
50 can we always find $b$ such that $\Gamma_{\{b\}}(f)$ is strongly connected.
52 The answer is indeed positive. We furtheremore have the following strongest
55 There exist $b \in \Nats$ such that $\Gamma_{\{b\}}(f)$ is complete.
58 There is an arc $(x,y)$ in the
59 graph $\Gamma_{\{b\}}(f)$ if and only if $M^b_{xy}$ is positive
60 where $M$ is the Markov matrix of $\Gamma(f)$.
61 It has been shown in~\cite[Lemma 3]{bcgr11:ip} that $M$ is regular.
62 There exists thus $b$ such there is an arc between any $x$ and $y$.
65 The next section presents how to build hamiltonian cycles in the
66 $\mathsf{N}$-cube with the objective to embed them into the
67 pseudorandom number generator.
