It is unclear how the algorithm improves the randomness properties, as the results of the randomness test suite is not compared to that of the input PRNG. If that had been a perfect RNG, only 8 bits would have been enough to generate 8 bits, in this case we need 582 bits according to Table 1. This difference has to be justified. ---> JFC +--> JFC (fait) The removal of the Hamiltonian cycle adds an interesting twist to the N-cube, but the importance of this complication is not emphasized properly. ---> JFC +--> JFC (fait) It would be also interesting to see the comparison of the theoretical and simulated bounds on tau.
