-\subsection{About some Well-known PRNGs}
-\label{The generation of pseudo-random sequence}
-
-
-
-
-Let us now give illustration on the fact that chaos appears to improve statistical properties.
-
-\subsection{Details of some Existing Generators}
-
-Here are the modules of PRNGs we have chosen to experiment.
-
-\subsubsection{LCG}
-This PRNG implements either the simple or the combined linear congruency generator (LCGs). The simple LCG is defined by the recurrence:
-\begin{equation}
-x^n = (ax^{n-1} + c)~mod~m
-\label{LCG}
-\end{equation}
-where $a$, $c$, and $x^0$ must be, among other things, non-negative and less than $m$~\cite{testU01}. In what follows, 2LCGs and 3LCGs refer as two (resp. three) combinations of such LCGs.
-For further details, see~\cite{combined_lcg}.
-
-\subsubsection{MRG}
-This module implements multiple recursive generators (MRGs), based on a linear recurrence of order $k$, modulo $m$~\cite{testU01}:
-\begin{equation}
-x^n = (a^1x^{n-1}+~...~+a^kx^{n-k})~mod~m
-\label{MRG}
-\end{equation}
-Combination of two MRGs (referred as 2MRGs) is also be used in this paper.
-
-\subsubsection{UCARRY}
-Generators based on linear recurrences with carry are implemented in this module. This includes the add-with-carry (AWC) generator, based on the recurrence:
-\begin{equation}
-\label{AWC}
-\begin{array}{l}
-x^n = (x^{n-r} + x^{n-s} + c^{n-1})~mod~m, \\
-c^n= (x^{n-r} + x^{n-s} + c^{n-1}) / m, \end{array}\end{equation}
-the SWB generator, having the recurrence:
-\begin{equation}
-\label{SWB}
-\begin{array}{l}
-x^n = (x^{n-r} - x^{n-s} - c^{n-1})~mod~m, \\
-c^n=\left\{
-\begin{array}{l}
-1 ~~~~~\text{if}~ (x^{i-r} - x^{i-s} - c^{i-1})<0\\
-0 ~~~~~\text{else},\end{array} \right. \end{array}\end{equation}
-and the SWC generator designed by R. Couture, which is based on the following recurrence:
-\begin{equation}
-\label{SWC}
-\begin{array}{l}
-x^n = (a^1x^{n-1} \oplus ~...~ \oplus a^rx^{n-r} \oplus c^{n-1}) ~ mod ~ 2^w, \\
-c^n = (a^1x^{n-1} \oplus ~...~ \oplus a^rx^{n-r} \oplus c^{n-1}) ~ / ~ 2^w. \end{array}\end{equation}
-
-\subsubsection{GFSR}
-This module implements the generalized feedback shift register (GFSR) generator, that is:
-\begin{equation}
-x^n = x^{n-r} \oplus x^{n-k}
-\label{GFSR}
-\end{equation}
-
-
-\subsubsection{INV}
-Finally, this module implements the nonlinear inversive generator, as defined in~\cite{testU01}, which is:
-
-\begin{equation}
-\label{INV}
-\begin{array}{l}
-x^n=\left\{
-\begin{array}{ll}
-(a^1 + a^2 / z^{n-1})~mod~m & \text{if}~ z^{n-1} \neq 0 \\
-a^1 & \text{if}~ z^{n-1} = 0 .\end{array} \right. \end{array}\end{equation}

-\subsection{Statistical tests}
-\label{Security analysis}
-
-%A theoretical proof for the randomness of a generator is impossible to give, therefore statistical inference based on observed sample sequences produced by the generator seems to be the best option.
-Considering the properties of binary random sequences, various statistical tests can be designed to evaluate the assertion that the sequence is generated by a perfectly random source. We have performed some statistical tests for the CIPRNGs proposed here. These tests include NIST suite~\cite{ANDREW2008} and DieHARD battery of tests~\cite{DieHARD}. For completeness and for reference, we give in the following subsection a brief description of each of the aforementioned tests.
-
-
-
-\subsubsection{NIST statistical tests suite}
-
-Among the numerous standard tests for pseudo-randomness, a convincing way to show the randomness of the produced sequences is to confront them to the NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) statistical tests, being an up-to-date tests suite proposed by the Information Technology Laboratory (ITL). A new version of the Statistical tests suite has been released in August 11, 2010.
-
-The NIST tests suite SP 800-22 is a statistical package consisting of 15 tests. They were developed to test the randomness of binary sequences produced by hardware or software based cryptographic pseudorandom number generators. These tests focus on a variety of different types of non-randomness that could exist in a sequence.
-
-For each statistical test, a set of $P-values$ (corresponding to the set of sequences) is produced.
-The interpretation of empirical results can be conducted in various ways.
-In this paper, the examination of the distribution of P-values to check for uniformity ($ P-value_{T}$) is used.
-The distribution of $P-values$ is examined to ensure uniformity.
-If $P-value_{T} \geqslant 0.0001$, then the sequences can be considered to be uniformly distributed.
-
-In our experiments, 100 sequences (s = 100), each with 1,000,000-bit long, are generated and tested. If the $P-value_{T}$ of any test is smaller than 0.0001, the sequences are considered to be not good enough and the generating algorithm is not suitable for usage.
-
-
-
-
-
-\subsubsection{DieHARD battery of tests}
-The DieHARD battery of tests has been the most sophisticated standard for over a decade. Because of the stringent requirements in the DieHARD tests suite, a generator passing this battery of
-tests can be considered good as a rule of thumb.
-
-The DieHARD battery of tests consists of 18 different independent statistical tests. This collection
- of tests is based on assessing the randomness of bits comprising 32-bit integers obtained from
-a random number generator. Each test requires $2^{23}$ 32-bit integers in order to run the full set
-of tests. Most of the tests in DieHARD return a $P-value$, which should be uniform on $[0,1)$ if the input file
-contains truly independent random bits. These $P-values$ are obtained by
-$P=F(X)$, where $F$ is the assumed distribution of the sample random variable $X$ (often normal).
-But that assumed $F$ is just an asymptotic approximation, for which the fit will be worst
-in the tails. Thus occasional $P-values$ near 0 or 1, such as 0.0012 or 0.9983, can occur.
-An individual test is considered to be failed if the $P-value$ approaches 1 closely, for example $P>0.9999$.

+
+
+%% \begin{proposition}
+%% The function $d$ defined in Eq.~\ref{nouveau d} is a metric on $\mathcal{X}$.
+%% \end{proposition}
+
+%% \begin{proof}
+%% $d_e$ is the Hamming distance. We will prove that $d_s$ is a distance
+%% too, thus $d$, as being the sum of two distances, will also be a distance.
+%% \begin{itemize}
+%% \item Obviously, $d_s(S,\check{S})\geqslant 0$, and if $S=\check{S}$, then
+%% $d_s(S,\check{S})=0$. Conversely, if $d_s(S,\check{S})=0$, then
+%% $\forall k \in \mathds{N}, |S^k\Delta {S}^k|=0$, and so $\forall k, S^k=\check{S}^k$.
+%% \item $d_s$ is symmetric
+%% ($d_s(S,\check{S})=d_s(\check{S},S)$) due to the commutative property
+%% of the symmetric difference.
+%% \item Finally, $|S \Delta S''| = |(S \Delta \varnothing) \Delta S''|= |S \Delta (S'\Delta S') \Delta S''|= |(S \Delta S') \Delta (S' \Delta S'')|\leqslant |S \Delta S'| + |S' \Delta S''|$,
+%% and so for all subsets $S,S',$ and $S''$ of $\llbracket 1, \mathsf{N} \rrbracket$,
+%% we have $d_s(S,S'') \leqslant d_e(S,S')+d_s(S',S'')$, and the triangle
+%% inequality is obtained.
+%% \end{itemize}
+%% \end{proof}
+
+
+%% Before being able to study the topological behavior of the general
+%% chaotic iterations, we must first establish that:
+
+%% \begin{proposition}
+%% For all $f:\mathds{B}^\mathsf{N} \longrightarrow \mathds{B}^\mathsf{N} $, the function $G_f$ is continuous on
+%% $\left( \mathcal{X},d\right)$.
+%% \end{proposition}
+
+
+%% \begin{proof}
+%% We use the sequential continuity.
+%% Let $(S^n,E^n)_{n\in \mathds{N}}$ be a sequence of the phase space $%
+%% \mathcal{X}$, which converges to $(S,E)$. We will prove that $\left(
+%% G_{f}(S^n,E^n)\right) _{n\in \mathds{N}}$ converges to $\left(
+%% G_{f}(S,E)\right) $. Let us remark that for all $n$, $S^n$ is a strategy,
+%% thus, we consider a sequence of strategies (\emph{i.e.}, a sequence of
+%% sequences).\newline
+%% As $d((S^n,E^n);(S,E))$ converges to 0, each distance $d_{e}(E^n,E)$ and $d_{s}(S^n,S)$ converges
+%% to 0. But $d_{e}(E^n,E)$ is an integer, so $\exists n_{0}\in \mathds{N},$ $%
+%% d_{e}(E^n,E)=0$ for any $n\geqslant n_{0}$.\newline
+%% In other words, there exists a threshold $n_{0}\in \mathds{N}$ after which no
+%% cell will change its state:
+%% $\exists n_{0}\in \mathds{N},n\geqslant n_{0}\Rightarrow E^n = E.$
+
+%% In addition, $d_{s}(S^n,S)\longrightarrow 0,$ so $\exists n_{1}\in %
+%% \mathds{N},d_{s}(S^n,S)<10^{-1}$ for all indexes greater than or equal to $%
+%% n_{1}$. This means that for $n\geqslant n_{1}$, all the $S^n$ have the same
+%% first term, which is $S^0$: $\forall n\geqslant n_{1},S_0^n=S_0.$
+
+%% Thus, after the $max(n_{0},n_{1})^{th}$ term, states of $E^n$ and $E$ are
+%% identical and strategies $S^n$ and $S$ start with the same first term.\newline
+%% Consequently, states of $G_{f}(S^n,E^n)$ and $G_{f}(S,E)$ are equal,
+%% so, after the $max(n_0, n_1)^{th}$ term, the distance $d$ between these two points is strictly less than 1.\newline
+%% \noindent We now prove that the distance between $\left(
+%% G_{f}(S^n,E^n)\right) $ and $\left( G_{f}(S,E)\right) $ is convergent to
+%% 0. Let $\varepsilon >0$. \medskip
+%% \begin{itemize}
+%% \item If $\varepsilon \geqslant 1$, we see that the distance
+%% between $\left( G_{f}(S^n,E^n)\right) $ and $\left( G_{f}(S,E)\right) $ is
+%% strictly less than 1 after the $max(n_{0},n_{1})^{th}$ term (same state).
+%% \medskip
+%% \item If $\varepsilon <1$, then $\exists k\in \mathds{N},10^{-k}\geqslant
+%% \varepsilon > 10^{-(k+1)}$. But $d_{s}(S^n,S)$ converges to 0, so
+%% \begin{equation*}
+%% \exists n_{2}\in \mathds{N},\forall n\geqslant
+%% n_{2},d_{s}(S^n,S)<10^{-(k+2)},
+%% \end{equation*}%
+%% thus after $n_{2}$, the $k+2$ first terms of $S^n$ and $S$ are equal.
+%% \end{itemize}
+%% \noindent As a consequence, the $k+1$ first entries of the strategies of $%
+%% G_{f}(S^n,E^n)$ and $G_{f}(S,E)$ are the same ($G_{f}$ is a shift of strategies) and due to the definition of $d_{s}$, the floating part of
+%% the distance between $(S^n,E^n)$ and $(S,E)$ is strictly less than $%
+%% 10^{-(k+1)}\leqslant \varepsilon $.
+
+%% In conclusion,

+%% \forall \varepsilon >0,$ $\exists N_{0}=max(n_{0},n_{1},n_{2})\in \mathds{N}

+%% $ d\left( G_{f}(S^n,E^n);G_{f}(S,E)\right)

+%% \end{proof}
+
+
+%% It is now possible to study the topological behavior of the general chaotic
+%% iterations. We will prove that,
+
+%% \begin{theorem}
+%% \label{t:chaos des general}
+%% The general chaotic iterations defined on Equation~\ref{general CIs} satisfy
+%% the Devaney's property of chaos.
+%% \end{theorem}
+
+%% Let us firstly prove the following lemma.
+
+%% \begin{lemma}[Strong transitivity]
+%% \label{strongTrans}
+%% For all couples $X,Y \in \mathcal{X}$ and any neighborhood $V$ of $X$, we can
+%% find $n \in \mathds{N}^*$ and $X' \in V$ such that $G^n(X')=Y$.
+%% \end{lemma}
+
+%% \begin{proof}
+%% Let $X=(S,E)$, $\varepsilon>0$, and $k_0 = \lfloor log_{10}(\varepsilon)+1 \rfloor$.
+%% Any point $X'=(S',E')$ such that $E'=E$ and $\forall k \leqslant k_0, S'^k=S^k$,
+%% are in the open ball $\mathcal{B}\left(X,\varepsilon\right)$. Let us define
+%% $\check{X} = \left(\check{S},\check{E}\right)$, where $\check{X}= G^{k_0}(X)$.
+%% We denote by $s\subset \llbracket 1; \mathsf{N} \rrbracket$ the set of coordinates
+%% that are different between $\check{E}$ and the state of $Y$. Thus each point $X'$ of
+%% the form $(S',E')$ where $E'=E$ and $S'$ starts with
+%% $(S^0, S^1, \hdots, S^{k_0},s,\hdots)$, verifies the following properties:
+%% \begin{itemize}
+%% \item $X'$ is in $\mathcal{B}\left(X,\varepsilon\right)$,
+%% \item the state of $G_f^{k_0+1}(X')$ is the state of $Y$.
+%% \end{itemize}
+%% Finally the point $\left(\left(S^0, S^1, \hdots, S^{k_0},s,s^0, s^1, \hdots\right); E\right)$,
+%% where $(s^0,s^1, \hdots)$ is the strategy of $Y$, satisfies the properties
+%% claimed in the lemma.
+%% \end{proof}
+
+%% We can now prove the Theorem~\ref{t:chaos des general}.
+
+%% \begin{proof}[Theorem~\ref{t:chaos des general}]
+%% Firstly, strong transitivity implies transitivity.
+
+%% Let $(S,E) \in\mathcal{X}$ and $\varepsilon >0$. To
+%% prove that $G_f$ is regular, it is sufficient to prove that
+%% there exists a strategy $\tilde S$ such that the distance between
+%% $(\tilde S,E)$ and $(S,E)$ is less than $\varepsilon$, and such that
+%% $(\tilde S,E)$ is a periodic point.
+
+%% Let $t_1=\lfloor-\log_{10}(\varepsilon)\rfloor$, and let $E'$ be the
+%% configuration that we obtain from $(S,E)$ after $t_1$ iterations of
+%% $G_f$. As $G_f$ is strongly transitive, there exists a strategy $S'$
+%% and $t_2\in\mathds{N}$ such
+%% that $E$ is reached from $(S',E')$ after $t_2$ iterations of $G_f$.
+
+%% Consider the strategy $\tilde S$ that alternates the first $t_1$ terms
+%% of $S$ and the first $t_2$ terms of $S'$:
+%% %%RAPH : j'ai coupé la ligne en 2
+%% $$\tilde
+%% S=(S_0,\dots,S_{t_1-1},S'_0,\dots,S'_{t_2-1},S_0,$$$$\dots,S_{t_1-1},S'_0,\dots,S'_{t_2-1},S_0,\dots).$$ It
+%% is clear that $(\tilde S,E)$ is obtained from $(\tilde S,E)$ after
+%% $t_1+t_2$ iterations of $G_f$. So $(\tilde S,E)$ is a periodic
+%% point. Since $\tilde S_t=S_t$ for $t<t_1$, by the choice of $t_1$, we
+%% have $d((S,E),(\tilde S,E))<\epsilon$.

+%\section{Statistical Improvements Using Chaotic Iterations}
+%\label{The generation of pseudorandom sequence}
+%The content is this section is given in Section~\ref{A-The generation of pseudorandom sequence} of the annex document.
+The reasons to desire chaos to achieve randomness are given in Annex~\ref{A-The generation of pseudorandom sequence}.
+
+%% \label{The generation of pseudorandom sequence}
+
+
+%% Let us now explain why we have reasonable ground to believe that chaos
+%% can improve statistical properties.
+%% We will show in this section that chaotic properties as defined in the
+%% mathematical theory of chaos are related to some statistical tests that can be found
+%% in the NIST battery. Furthermore, we will check that, when mixing defective PRNGs with
+%% chaotic iterations, the new generator presents better statistical properties
+%% (this section summarizes and extends the work of~\cite{bfg12a:ip}).
+
+
+
+%% \subsection{Qualitative relations between topological properties and statistical tests}
+
+
+%% There are various relations between topological properties that describe an unpredictable behavior for a discrete
+%% dynamical system on the one
+%% hand, and statistical tests to check the randomness of a numerical sequence
+%% on the other hand. These two mathematical disciplines follow a similar
+%% objective in case of a recurrent sequence (to characterize an intrinsically complicated behavior for a
+%% recurrent sequence), with two different but complementary approaches.
+%% It is true that the following illustrative links give only qualitative arguments,
+%% and proofs should be provided later to make such arguments irrefutable. However
+%% they give a first understanding of the reason why we think that chaotic properties should tend
+%% to improve the statistical quality of PRNGs.
+%% %
+%% Let us now list some of these relations between topological properties defined in the mathematical
+%% theory of chaos and tests embedded into the NIST battery. %Such relations need to be further
+%% %investigated, but they presently give a first illustration of a trend to search similar properties in the
+%% %two following fields: mathematical chaos and statistics.
+
+
+%% \begin{itemize}
+%% \item \textbf{Regularity}. As stated in Section~\ref{subsec:Devaney}, a chaotic dynamical system must
+%% have an element of regularity. Depending on the chosen definition of chaos, this element can be the existence of
+%% a dense orbit, the density of periodic points, etc. The key idea is that a dynamical system with no periodicity
+%% is not as chaotic as a system having periodic orbits: in the first situation, we can predict something and gain a
+%% knowledge about the behavior of the system, that is, it never enters into a loop. A similar importance for periodicity is emphasized in
+%% the two following NIST tests~\cite{Nist10}:
+%% \begin{itemize}
+%% \item \textbf{Non-overlapping Template Matching Test}. Detect generators that produce too many occurrences of a given non-periodic (aperiodic) pattern.
+%% \item \textbf{Discrete Fourier Transform (Spectral) Test}. Detect periodic features (i.e., repetitive patterns that are close one to another) in the tested sequence that would indicate a deviation from the assumption of randomness.
+%% \end{itemize}
+
+%% \item \textbf{Transitivity}. This topological property previously introduced states that the dynamical system is intrinsically complicated: it cannot be simplified into
+%% two subsystems that do not interact, as we can find in any neighborhood of any point another point whose orbit visits the whole phase space.
+%% This focus on the places visited by the orbits of the dynamical system takes various nonequivalent formulations in the mathematical theory
+%% of chaos, namely: transitivity, strong transitivity, total transitivity, topological mixing, and so on~\cite{bg10:ij}. A similar attention
+%% is brought on the states visited during a random walk in the two tests below~\cite{Nist10}:
+%% \begin{itemize}
+%% \item \textbf{Random Excursions Variant Test}. Detect deviations from the expected number of visits to various states in the random walk.
+%% \item \textbf{Random Excursions Test}. Determine if the number of visits to a particular state within a cycle deviates from what one would expect for a random sequence.
+%% \end{itemize}
+
+%% \item \textbf{Chaos according to Li and Yorke}. Two points of the phase space $(x,y)$ define a couple of Li-Yorke when $\limsup_{n \rightarrow +\infty} d(f^{(n)}(x), f^{(n)}(y))>0$ et $\liminf_{n \rightarrow +\infty} d(f^{(n)}(x), f^{(n)}(y))=0$, meaning that their orbits always oscillate as the iterations pass. When a system is compact and contains an uncountable set of such points, it is claimed as chaotic according
+%% to Li-Yorke~\cite{Li75,Ruette2001}. A similar property is regarded in the following NIST test~\cite{Nist10}.
+%% \begin{itemize}
+%% \item \textbf{Runs Test}. To determine whether the number of runs of ones and zeros of various lengths is as expected for a random sequence. In particular, this test determines whether the oscillation between such zeros and ones is too fast or too slow.
+%% \end{itemize}
+%% \item \textbf{Topological entropy}. The desire to formulate an equivalency of the thermodynamics entropy
+%% has emerged both in the topological and statistical fields. Once again, a similar objective has led to two different
+%% rewritting of an entropy based disorder: the famous Shannon definition of entropy is approximated in the statistical approach,
+%% whereas topological entropy is defined as follows:
+%% $x,y \in \mathcal{X}$ are $\varepsilon-$\emph{separated in time $n$} if there exists $k \leqslant n$ such that $d\left(f^{(k)}(x),f^{(k)}(y)\right)>\varepsilon$. Then $(n,\varepsilon)-$separated sets are sets of points that are all $\varepsilon-$separated in time $n$, which
+%% leads to the definition of $s_n(\varepsilon,Y)$, being the maximal cardinality of all $(n,\varepsilon)-$separated sets. Using these notations,
+%% the topological entropy is defined as follows: $$h_{top}(\mathcal{X},f) = \displaystyle{\lim_{\varepsilon \rightarrow 0} \Big[ \limsup_{n \rightarrow +\infty} \dfrac{1}{n} \log s_n(\varepsilon,\mathcal{X})\Big]}.$$
+%% This value measures the average exponential growth of the number of distinguishable orbit segments.
+%% In this sense, it measures the complexity of the topological dynamical system, whereas
+%% the Shannon approach comes to mind when defining the following test~\cite{Nist10}:
+%% \begin{itemize}
+%% \item \textbf{Approximate Entropy Test}. Compare the frequency of the overlapping blocks of two consecutive/adjacent lengths ($m$ and $m+1$) against the expected result for a random sequence.
+%% \end{itemize}
+
+%% \item \textbf{Non-linearity, complexity}. Finally, let us remark that non-linearity and complexity are
+%% not only sought in general to obtain chaos, but they are also required for randomness, as illustrated by the two tests below~\cite{Nist10}.
+%% \begin{itemize}
+%% \item \textbf{Binary Matrix Rank Test}. Check for linear dependence among fixed length substrings of the original sequence.
+%% \item \textbf{Linear Complexity Test}. Determine whether or not the sequence is complex enough to be considered random.
+%% \end{itemize}
+%% \end{itemize}
+
+
+%% We have proven in our previous works~\cite{guyeux12:bc} that chaotic iterations satisfying Theorem~\ref{Th:Caractérisation des IC chaotiques} are, among other
+%% things, strongly transitive, topologically mixing, chaotic as defined by Li and Yorke,
+%% and that they have a topological entropy and an exponent of Lyapunov both equal to $ln(\mathsf{N})$,
+%% where $\mathsf{N}$ is the size of the iterated vector.
+%% These topological properties make that we are ground to believe that a generator based on chaotic
+%% iterations will probably be able to pass all the existing statistical batteries for pseudorandomness like
+%% the NIST one. The following subsections, in which we prove that defective generators have their
+%% statistical properties improved by chaotic iterations, show that such an assumption is true.
+
+%% \subsection{Details of some Existing Generators}
+
+%% The list of defective PRNGs we will use
+%% as inputs for the statistical tests to come is introduced here.
+
+%% Firstly, the simple linear congruency generators (LCGs) will be used.
+%% They are defined by the following recurrence:
+%% \begin{equation}
+%% x^n = (ax^{n-1} + c)~mod~m,
+%% \label{LCG}
