+Randomness is of importance in many fields as scientific simulations or cryptography.
+``Random numbers'' can mainly be generated either by a deterministic and reproducible algorithm
+called a pseudorandom number generator (PRNG), or by a physical non-deterministic
+process having all the characteristics of a random noise, called a truly random number
+generator (TRNG).
+In this paper, we focus on reproducible generators, useful for instance in
+Monte-Carlo based simulators or in several cryptographic schemes.
+These domains need PRNGs that are statistically irreproachable.
+On some fields as in numerical simulations, speed is a strong requirement
+that is usually attained by using parallel architectures. In that case,
+a recurrent problem is that a deflate of the statistical qualities is often
+reported, when the parallelization of a good PRNG is realized.
+This is why ad-hoc PRNGs for each possible architecture must be found to
+achieve both speed and randomness.
+On the other side, speed is not the main requirement in cryptography: the great
+need is to define \emph{secure} generators being able to withstand malicious
+attacks. Roughly speaking, an attacker should not be able in practice to make
+the distinction between numbers obtained with the secure generator and a true random
+sequence.
+Finally, a small part of the community working in this domain focus on a
+third requirement, that is to define chaotic generators.
+The main idea is to take benefits from a chaotic dynamical system to obtain a
+generator that is unpredictable, disordered, sensible to its seed, or in other words chaotic.
+Their desire is to map a given chaotic dynamics into a sequence that seems random
+and unassailable due to chaos.
+However, the chaotic maps used as a pattern are defined in the real line
+whereas computers deal with finite precision numbers.
+This distortion leads to a deflation of both chaotic properties and speed.
+Furthermore, authors of such chaotic generators often claim their PRNG
+as secure due to their chaos properties, but there is no obvious relation
+between chaos and security as it is understood in cryptography.
+This is why the use of chaos for PRNG still remains marginal and disputable.
+
+The authors' opinion is that topological properties of disorder, as they are
+properly defined in the mathematical theory of chaos, can reinforce the quality
+of a PRNG. But they are not substitutable for security or statistical perfection.
+Indeed, to the authors' point of view, such properties can be useful in the two following situations. On the
+one hand, a post-treatment based on a chaotic dynamical system can be applied
+to a PRNG statistically deflective, in order to improve its statistical
+properties. Such an improvement can be found, for instance, in~\cite{bgw09:ip,bcgr11:ip}.
+On the other hand, chaos can be added to a fast, statistically perfect PRNG and/or a
+cryptographically secure one, in case where chaos can be of interest,
+\emph{only if these last properties are not lost during
+the proposed post-treatment}. Such an assumption is behind this research work.
+It leads to the attempts to define a
+family of PRNGs that are chaotic while being fast and statistically perfect,
+or cryptographically secure.
+Let us finish this paragraph by noticing that, in this paper,
+statistical perfection refers to the ability to pass the whole
+{\it BigCrush} battery of tests, which is widely considered as the most
+stringent statistical evaluation of a sequence claimed as random.
+This battery can be found into the well-known TestU01 package~\cite{LEcuyerS07}.
+Chaos, for its part, refers to the well-established definition of a
+chaotic dynamical system proposed by Devaney~\cite{Devaney}.
+
+
+In a previous work~\cite{bgw09:ip,guyeux10} we have proposed a post-treatment on PRNGs making them behave
+as a chaotic dynamical system. Such a post-treatment leads to a new category of
+PRNGs. We have shown that proofs of Devaney's chaos can be established for this
+family, and that the sequence obtained after this post-treatment can pass the
+NIST~\cite{Nist10}, DieHARD~\cite{Marsaglia1996}, and TestU01~\cite{LEcuyerS07} batteries of tests, even if the inputted generators
+cannot.
+The proposition of this paper is to improve widely the speed of the formerly
+proposed generator, without any lack of chaos or statistical properties.
+In particular, a version of this PRNG on graphics processing units (GPU)
+is proposed.
+Although GPU was initially designed to accelerate
+the manipulation of images, they are nowadays commonly used in many scientific
+applications. Therefore, it is important to be able to generate pseudorandom
+numbers inside a GPU when a scientific application runs in it. This remark
+motivates our proposal of a chaotic and statistically perfect PRNG for GPU.
+Such device
+allows us to generated almost 20 billions of pseudorandom numbers per second.
+Last, but not least, we show that the proposed post-treatment preserves the
+cryptographical security of the inputted PRNG, when this last has such a
+property.
+
+The remainder of this paper is organized as follows. In Section~\ref{section:related
+ works} we review some GPU implementations of PRNGs. Section~\ref{section:BASIC
+ RECALLS} gives some basic recalls on the well-known Devaney's formulation of chaos,
+ and on an iteration process called ``chaotic
+iterations'' on which the post-treatment is based.
+Proofs of chaos are given in Section~\ref{sec:pseudorandom}.
+Section~\ref{sec:efficient PRNG} presents an efficient
+implementation of this chaotic PRNG on a CPU, whereas Section~\ref{sec:efficient PRNG
+ gpu} describes the GPU implementation.
+Such generators are experimented in
+Section~\ref{sec:experiments}.
+We show in Section~\ref{sec:security analysis} that, if the inputted
+generator is cryptographically secure, then it is the case too for the
+generator provided by the post-treatment.
+Such a proof leads to the proposition of a cryptographically secure and
+chaotic generator on GPU based on the famous Blum Blum Shum
+in Section~\ref{sec:CSGPU}.
+This research work ends by a conclusion section, in which the contribution is
+summarized and intended future work is presented.

+\section{Related works on GPU based PRNGs}
+\label{section:related works}
+
+Numerous research works on defining GPU based PRNGs have yet been proposed in the
+literature, so that completeness is impossible.
+This is why authors of this document only give reference to the most significant attempts
+in this domain, from their subjective point of view.
+The quantity of pseudorandom numbers generated per second is mentioned here
+only when the information is given in the related work.
+A million numbers per second will be simply written as
+1MSample/s whereas a billion numbers per second is 1GSample/s.
+
+In \cite{Pang:2008:cec} a PRNG based on cellular automata is defined
+with no requirement to an high precision integer arithmetic or to any bitwise
+operations. Authors can generate about
+3.2MSamples/s on a GeForce 7800 GTX GPU, which is quite an old card now.
+However, there is neither a mention of statistical tests nor any proof of
+chaos or cryptography in this document.
+
+In \cite{ZRKB10}, the authors propose different versions of efficient GPU PRNGs
+based on Lagged Fibonacci or Hybrid Taus. They have used these
+PRNGs for Langevin simulations of biomolecules fully implemented on
+GPU. Performance of the GPU versions are far better than those obtained with a
+CPU, and these PRNGs succeed to pass the {\it BigCrush} battery of TestU01.
+However the evaluations of the proposed PRNGs are only statistical ones.
+
+
+Authors of~\cite{conf/fpga/ThomasHL09} have studied the implementation of some
+PRNGs on different computing architectures: CPU, field-programmable gate array
+(FPGA), massively parallel processors, and GPU. This study is of interest, because
+the performance of the same PRNGs on different architectures are compared.
+FPGA appears as the fastest and the most
+efficient architecture, providing the fastest number of generated pseudorandom numbers
+per joule.
+However, we can notice that authors can ``only'' generate between 11 and 16GSamples/s
+with a GTX 280 GPU, which should be compared with
+the results presented in this document.
+We can remark too that the PRNGs proposed in~\cite{conf/fpga/ThomasHL09} are only
+able to pass the {\it Crush} battery, which is very easy compared to the {\it Big Crush} one.
+
+Lastly, Cuda has developed a library for the generation of pseudorandom numbers called
+Curand~\cite{curand11}. Several PRNGs are implemented, among
+other things
+Xorwow~\cite{Marsaglia2003} and some variants of Sobol. The tests reported show that
+their fastest version provides 15GSamples/s on the new Fermi C2050 card.
+But their PRNGs cannot pass the whole TestU01 battery (only one test is failed).
+\newline
+\newline
+We can finally remark that, to the best of our knowledge, no GPU implementation have been proven to be chaotic, and the cryptographically secure property is surprisingly never regarded.

\times \mathds{B}^\mathsf{N}$, is build from Boolean networks $f : \mathds{B}^\mathsf{N}
\rightarrow \mathds{B}^\mathsf{N}$, we can preserve the theoretical properties on $G_f$
during implementations (due to the discrete nature of $f$). It is as if

if and only if $M$ is a double stochastic matrix.

$\mathcal{S}^n \subset \llbracket 1, \mathsf{N} \rrbracket$ is such that
of chaos obtained in~\cite{bg10:ij} have been established
only for chaotic iterations of the form presented in Definition
\ref{Def:chaotic iterations}. The question is now to determine whether the

\subsection{Proofs of Chaos of the General Formulation of the Chaotic Iterations}
-
+\label{deuxième def}
Let us consider the discrete dynamical systems in chaotic iterations having
the general form:
\section{Efficient PRNG based on Chaotic Iterations}
+\label{sec:efficient PRNG}
+
+Based on the proof presented in the previous section, it is now possible to
+improve the speed of the generator formerly presented in~\cite{bgw09:ip,guyeux10}.
+The first idea is to consider
+that the provided strategy is a pseudorandom Boolean vector obtained by a
+given PRNG.
+An iteration of the system is simply the bitwise exclusive or between
+the last computed state and the current strategy.
+Topological properties of disorder exhibited by chaotic
+iterations can be inherited by the inputted generator, hoping by doing so to
+obtain some statistical improvements while preserving speed.
-In order to implement efficiently a PRNG based on chaotic iterations it is
-possible to improve previous works [ref]. One solution consists in considering
-that the strategy used contains all the bits for which the negation is
-achieved out. Then in order to apply the negation on these bits we can simply
-apply the xor operator between the current number and the strategy. In
-order to obtain the strategy we also use a classical PRNG.
-Here is an example with 16-bits numbers showing how the bitwise operations

-In listing~\ref{algo:seqCIprng} a sequential version of our chaotic iterations
-based PRNG is presented. The xor operator is represented by
-\textasciicircum. This function uses three classical 64-bits PRNG: the
-\texttt{xorshift}, the \texttt{xor128} and the \texttt{xorwow}. In the
-following, we call them xor-like PRNGSs. These three PRNGs are presented
-in~\cite{Marsaglia2003}. As each xor-like PRNG used works with 64-bits and as
-our PRNG works with 32-bits, the use of \texttt{(unsigned int)} selects the 32
-least significant bits whereas \texttt{(unsigned int)(t3$>>$32)} selects the 32
-most significants bits of the variable \texttt{t}. So to produce a random
-number realizes 6 xor operations with 6 32-bits numbers produced by 3 64-bits
-PRNG. This version successes the BigCrush of the TestU01 battery [P. L’ecuyer
- and R. Simard. Testu01].

+``xor-like PRNGs''.
+As
+each xor-like PRNG uses 64-bits whereas our proposed generator works with 32-bits,
+we use the command \texttt{(unsigned int)}, that selects the 32 least significant bits of a given integer, and the code
+\texttt{(unsigned int)(t3$>>$32)} in order to obtain the 32 most significant bits of \texttt{t}.

+So producing a pseudorandom number needs 6 xor operations
+with 6 32-bits numbers that are provided by 3 64-bits PRNGs. This version successfully passes the

-In order to benefit from computing power of GPU, a program needs to define
-independent blocks of threads which can be computed simultaneously. In general,
-the larger the number of threads is, the more local memory is used and the less
-branching instructions are used (if, while, ...), the better performance is
-obtained on GPU. So with algorithm \ref{algo:seqCIprng} presented in the
-previous section, it is possible to build a similar program which computes PRNG
-on GPU. In the CUDA [ref] environment, threads have a local identificator,
-called \texttt{ThreadIdx} relative to the block containing them.
+\section{Efficient PRNGs based on Chaotic Iterations on GPU}
+\label{sec:efficient PRNG gpu}
+In order to take benefits from the computing power of GPU, a program
+needs to have independent blocks of threads that can be computed
+simultaneously. In general, the larger the number of threads is, the
+more local memory is used, and the less branching instructions are
+used (if, while, ...), the better the performances on GPU is.
+Obviously, having these requirements in mind, it is possible to build
+a program similar to the one presented in Algorithm
+\ref{algo:seqCIPRNG}, which computes pseudorandom numbers on GPU. To
+do so, we must firstly recall that in the CUDA~\cite{Nvid10}
+environment, threads have a local identifier called
+\texttt{ThreadIdx}, which is relative to the block containing
+them. With CUDA parts of the code which are executed by the GPU are
+called {\it kernels}.
-\subsection{Naive version for GPU}
-From the CPU version, it is possible to obtain a quite similar version for GPU.
-The principe consists in assigning the computation of a PRNG as in sequential to
-each thread of the GPU. Of course, it is essential that the three xor-like
-PRNGs used for our computation have different parameters. So we chose them
-randomly with another PRNG. As the initialisation is performed by the CPU, we
-have chosen to use the ISAAC PRNG [ref] to initalize all the parameters for the
-GPU version of our PRNG. The implementation of the three xor-like PRNGs is
-straightforward as soon as their parameters have been allocated in the GPU
-memory. Each xor-like PRNGs used works with an internal number $x$ which keeps
-the last generated random numbers. Other internal variables are also used by the
-xor-like PRNGs. More precisely, the implementation of the xor128, the xorshift
-and the xorwow respectively require 4, 5 and 6 unsigned long as internal
-variables.
+\subsection{Naive Version for GPU}
+
+
+It is possible to deduce from the CPU version a quite similar version adapted to GPU.
+The simple principle consists to make each thread of the GPU computing the CPU version of our PRNG.
+Of course, the three xor-like
+PRNGs used in these computations must have different parameters.
+In a given thread, these lasts are
+randomly picked from another PRNGs.
+The initialization stage is performed by the CPU.
+To do it, the ISAAC PRNG~\cite{Jenkins96} is used to set all the
+parameters embedded into each thread.
+
+The implementation of the three
+xor-like PRNGs is straightforward when their parameters have been
+allocated in the GPU memory. Each xor-like works with an internal
+number $x$ that saves the last generated pseudorandom number. Additionally, the
+implementation of the xor128, the xorshift, and the xorwow respectively require
+4, 5, and 6 unsigned long as internal variables.

+\subsection{Theoretical Evaluation of the Improved Version}
+
+A run of Algorithm~\ref{algo:gpu_kernel2} consists in an operation ($x=x\oplus t$) having
+the form of Equation~\ref{equation Oplus}, which is equivalent to the iterative
+system of Eq.~\ref{eq:generalIC}. That is, an iteration of the general chaotic
+iterations is realized between the last stored value $x$ of the thread and a strategy $t$
+(obtained by a bitwise exclusive or between a value provided by a xor-like() call
+and two values previously obtained by two other threads).
+To be certain that we are in the framework of Theorem~\ref{t:chaos des general},
+we must guarantee that this dynamical system iterates on the space
+$\mathcal{X} = \mathcal{P}\left(\llbracket 1, \mathsf{N} \rrbracket\right)^\mathds{N}\times\mathds{B}^\mathsf{N}$.
+The left term $x$ obviously belongs into $\mathds{B}^ \mathsf{N}$.
+To prevent from any flaws of chaotic properties, we must check that the right
+term (the last $t$), corresponding to the strategies, can possibly be equal to any
+integer of $\llbracket 1, \mathsf{N} \rrbracket$.
+
+Such a result is obvious, as for the xor-like(), all the
+integers belonging into its interval of definition can occur at each iteration, and thus the
+last $t$ respects the requirement. Furthermore, it is possible to
+prove by an immediate mathematical induction that, as the initial $x$
+is uniformly distributed (it is provided by a cryptographically secure PRNG),
+the two other stored values shmem[o1] and shmem[o2] are uniformly distributed too,
+(this can be stated by an immediate mathematical
+induction), and thus the next $x$ is finally uniformly distributed.
+
+Thus Algorithm~\ref{algo:gpu_kernel2} is a concrete realization of the general
+chaotic iterations presented previously, and for this reason, it satisfies the
+Devaney's formulation of a chaotic behavior.
\section{Experiments}
-
-Differents experiments have been performed in order to measure the generation
-speed.
-\begin{figure}[t]
+\label{sec:experiments}
+
+Different experiments have been performed in order to measure the generation
+speed. We have used a first computer equipped with a Tesla C1060 NVidia GPU card
+and an
+Intel Xeon E5530 cadenced at 2.40 GHz, and
+a second computer equipped with a smaller CPU and a GeForce GTX 280.
+All the
+cards have 240 cores.
+
+In Figure~\ref{fig:time_xorlike_gpu} we compare the quantity of pseudorandom numbers
+generated per second with various xor-like based PRNG. In this figure, the optimized
+versions use the {\it xor64} described in~\cite{Marsaglia2003}, whereas the naive versions
+embed the three xor-like PRNGs described in Listing~\ref{algo:seqCIPRNG}. In
+order to obtain the optimal performances, the storage of pseudorandom numbers
+into the GPU memory has been removed. This step is time consuming and slows down the numbers
+generation. Moreover this storage is completely
+useless, in case of applications that consume the pseudorandom
+numbers directly after generation. We can see that when the number of threads is greater
+than approximately 30,000 and lower than 5 millions, the number of pseudorandom numbers generated
+per second is almost constant. With the naive version, this value ranges from 2.5 to
+3GSamples/s. With the optimized version, it is approximately equal to
+20GSamples/s. Finally we can remark that both GPU cards are quite similar, but in
+practice, the Tesla C1060 has more memory than the GTX 280, and this memory
+should be of better quality.
+As a comparison, Listing~\ref{algo:seqCIPRNG} leads to the generation of about
+138MSample/s when using one core of the Xeon E5530.

-\section{The relativity of disorder}
-\label{sec:de la relativité du désordre}
-\subsection{Impact of the topology's finenesse}
-Let us firstly introduce the following notations.
-\begin{notation}
-$\mathcal{X}_\tau$ will denote the topological space
-$\left(\mathcal{X},\tau\right)$, whereas $\mathcal{V}_\tau (x)$ will be the set
-of all the neighborhoods of $x$ when considering the topology $\tau$ (or simply
-$\mathcal{V} (x)$, if there is no ambiguity).
-\end{notation}
-
-
-
-\begin{theorem}
-\label{Th:chaos et finesse}
-Let $\mathcal{X}$ a set and $\tau, \tau'$ two topologies on $\mathcal{X}$ s.t.
-$\tau'$ is finer than $\tau$. Let $f:\mathcal{X} \to \mathcal{X}$, continuous
-both for $\tau$ and $\tau'$.
-
-If $(\mathcal{X}_{\tau'},f)$ is chaotic according to Devaney, then
-$(\mathcal{X}_\tau,f)$ is chaotic too.
-\end{theorem}
+In Figure~\ref{fig:time_bbs_gpu} we highlight the performances of the optimized
+BBS-based PRNG on GPU. On the Tesla C1060 we
+obtain approximately 700MSample/s and on the GTX 280 about 670MSample/s, which is
+obviously slower than the xorlike-based PRNG on GPU. However, we will show in the
+next sections that
+this new PRNG has a strong level of security, which is necessary paid by a speed
+reduction.
-\begin{proof}
-Let us firstly establish the transitivity of $(\mathcal{X}_\tau,f)$.
-
-Let $\omega_1, \omega_2$ two open sets of $\tau$. Then $\omega_1, \omega_2 \in
-\tau'$, becaus $\tau'$ is finer than $\tau$. As $f$ is $\tau'-$transitive, we
-can deduce that $\exists n \in \mathds{N}, \omega_1 \cap f^{(n)}(\omega_2) =
-\varnothing$. Consequently, $f$ is $\tau-$transitive.
-
-Let us now consider the regularity of $(\mathcal{X}_\tau,f)$, \emph{i.e.}, for
-all $x \in \mathcal{X}$, and for all $\tau-$neighborhood $V$ of $x$, there is a
-periodic point for $f$ into $V$.
-
-Let $x \in \mathcal{X}$ and $V \in \mathcal{V}_\tau (x)$ a $\tau-$neighborhood
-of $x$. By definition, $\exists \omega \in \tau, x \in \omega \subset V$.
-
-But $\tau \subset \tau'$, so $\omega \in \tau'$, and then $V \in
-\mathcal{V}_{\tau'} (x)$. As $(\mathcal{X}_{\tau'},f)$ is regular, there is a
-periodic point for $f$ into $V$, and the regularity of $(\mathcal{X}_\tau,f)$ is
-proven.
-\end{proof}
-
-\subsection{A given system can always be claimed as chaotic}
-
-Let $f$ an iteration function on $\mathcal{X}$ having at least a fixed point.
-Then this function is chaotic (in a certain way):
-
-\begin{theorem}
-Let $\mathcal{X}$ a nonempty set and $f: \mathcal{X} \to \X$ a function having
-at least a fixed point.
-Then $f$ is $\tau_0-$chaotic, where $\tau_0$ is the trivial (indiscrete)
-topology on $\X$.
-\end{theorem}
-
-
-\begin{proof}
-$f$ is transitive when $\forall \omega, \omega' \in \tau_0 \setminus
-\{\varnothing\}, \exists n \in \mathds{N}, f^{(n)}(\omega) \cap \omega' \neq
-\varnothing$.
-As $\tau_0 = \left\{ \varnothing, \X \right\}$, this is equivalent to look for
-an integer $n$ s.t. $f^{(n)}\left( \X \right) \cap \X \neq \varnothing$. For
-instance, $n=0$ is appropriate.
-
-Let us now consider $x \in \X$ and $V \in \mathcal{V}_{\tau_0} (x)$. Then $V =
-\mathcal{X}$, so $V$ has at least a fixed point for $f$. Consequently $f$ is
-regular, and the result is established.
-\end{proof}
-
-
-
-
-\subsection{A given system can always be claimed as non-chaotic}
-
-\begin{theorem}
-Let $\mathcal{X}$ be a set and $f: \mathcal{X} \to \X$.
-If $\X$ is infinite, then $\left( \X_{\tau_\infty}, f\right)$ is not chaotic
-(for the Devaney's formulation), where $\tau_\infty$ is the discrete topology.
-\end{theorem}
-
-\begin{proof}
-Let us prove it by contradiction, assuming that $\left(\X_{\tau_\infty},
-f\right)$ is both transitive and regular.
-
-Let $x \in \X$ and $\{x\}$ one of its neighborhood. This neighborhood must
-contain a periodic point for $f$, if we want that $\left(\X_{\tau_\infty},
-f\right)$ is regular. Then $x$ must be a periodic point of $f$.
-
-Let $I_x = \left\{ f^{(n)}(x), n \in \mathds{N}\right\}$. This set is finite
-because $x$ is periodic, and $\mathcal{X}$ is infinite, then $\exists y \in
-\mathcal{X}, y \notin I_x$.
-
-As $\left(\X_{\tau_\infty}, f\right)$ must be transitive, for all open nonempty
-sets $A$ and $B$, an integer $n$ must satisfy $f^{(n)}(A) \cap B \neq
-\varnothing$. However $\{x\}$ and $\{y\}$ are open sets and $y \notin I_x
-\Rightarrow \forall n, f^{(n)}\left( \{x\} \right) \cap \{y\} = \varnothing$.
-\end{proof}

+In a certain extend, it is the case too with the secure BBS-based version, the speed deflation being
+explained by the fact that the former version has ``only''
+chaotic properties and statistical perfection, whereas the latter is also cryptographically secure,
+as it is shown in the next sections.
-\section{Chaos on the order topology}
-\subsection{The phase space is an interval of the real line}
-\subsubsection{Toward a topological semiconjugacy}
+\section{Security Analysis}
+\label{sec:security analysis}
-In what follows, our intention is to establish, by using a topological
-semiconjugacy, that chaotic iterations over $\mathcal{X}$ can be described as
-iterations on a real interval. To do so, we must firstly introduce some
-notations and terminologies.
-Let $\mathcal{S}_\mathsf{N}$ be the set of sequences belonging into $\llbracket
-1; \mathsf{N}\rrbracket$ and $\mathcal{X}_{\mathsf{N}} = \mathcal{S}_\mathsf{N}
-\times \B^\mathsf{N}$.
+In this section the concatenation of two strings $u$ and $v$ is classically
+denoted by $uv$.
+In a cryptographic context, a pseudorandom generator is a deterministic
+algorithm $G$ transforming strings into strings and such that, for any
+seed $w$ of length $N$, $G(w)$ (the output of $G$ on the input $w$) has size
+$\ell_G(N)$ with $\ell_G(N)>N$.
+The notion of {\it secure} PRNGs can now be defined as follows.
\begin{definition}
-The function $\varphi: \mathcal{S}_{10} \times\mathds{B}^{10} \rightarrow \big[
-0, 2^{10} \big[$ is defined by:
-\begin{equation}
- \begin{array}{cccl}
-\varphi: & \mathcal{X}_{10} = \mathcal{S}_{10} \times\mathds{B}^{10}&
-\longrightarrow & \big[ 0, 2^{10} \big[ \\
- & (S,E) = \left((S^0, S^1, \hdots ); (E_0, \hdots, E_9)\right) & \longmapsto &
-\varphi \left((S,E)\right)
-\end{array}
-\end{equation}
-where $\varphi\left((S,E)\right)$ is the real number:
-\begin{itemize}
-\item whose integral part $e$ is $\displaystyle{\sum_{k=0}^9 2^{9-k} E_k}$, that
-is, the binary digits of $e$ are $E_0 ~ E_1 ~ \hdots ~ E_9$.
-\item whose decimal part $s$ is equal to $s = 0,S^0~ S^1~ S^2~ \hdots =
-\sum_{k=1}^{+\infty} 10^{-k} S^{k-1}.$
-\end{itemize}
+A cryptographic PRNG $G$ is secure if for any probabilistic polynomial time
+algorithm $D$, for any positive polynomial $p$, and for all sufficiently
+large $k$'s,
+$$| \mathrm{Pr}[D(G(U_k))=1]-Pr[D(U_{\ell_G(k)})=1]|< \frac{1}{p(N)},$$
+where $U_r$ is the uniform distribution over $\{0,1\}^r$ and the
+probabilities are taken over $U_N$, $U_{\ell_G(N)}$ as well as over the
+internal coin tosses of $D$.
\end{definition}
+Intuitively, it means that there is no polynomial time algorithm that can
+distinguish a perfect uniform random generator from $G$ with a non
+negligible probability. The interested reader is referred
+to~\cite[chapter~3]{Goldreich} for more information. Note that it is
+quite easily possible to change the function $\ell$ into any polynomial
+function $\ell^\prime$ satisfying $\ell^\prime(N)>N)$~\cite[Chapter 3.3]{Goldreich}.
+
+The generation schema developed in (\ref{equation Oplus}) is based on a
+pseudorandom generator. Let $H$ be a cryptographic PRNG. We may assume,
+without loss of generality, that for any string $S_0$ of size $N$, the size
+of $H(S_0)$ is $kN$, with $k>2$. It means that $\ell_H(N)=kN$.
+Let $S_1,\ldots,S_k$ be the
+strings of length $N$ such that $H(S_0)=S_1 \ldots S_k$ ($H(S_0)$ is the concatenation of
+the $S_i$'s). The cryptographic PRNG $X$ defined in (\ref{equation Oplus})
+is the algorithm mapping any string of length $2N$ $x_0S_0$ into the string
+$(x_0\oplus S_0 \oplus S_1)(x_0\oplus S_0 \oplus S_1\oplus S_2)\ldots
+(x_o\bigoplus_{i=0}^{i=k}S_i)$. Particularly one has $\ell_{X}(2N)=kN=\ell_H(N)$.
+We claim now that if this PRNG is secure,
+then the new one is secure too.
+\begin{proposition}
+\label{cryptopreuve}
+If $H$ is a secure cryptographic PRNG, then $X$ is a secure cryptographic
+PRNG too.
+\end{proposition}
-$\varphi$ realizes the association between a point of $\mathcal{X}_{10}$ and a
-real number into $\big[ 0, 2^{10} \big[$. We must now translate the chaotic
-iterations $\Go$ on this real interval. To do so, two intermediate functions
-over $\big[ 0, 2^{10} \big[$ must be introduced:
-
-
-\begin{definition}
-\label{def:e et s}
-Let $x \in \big[ 0, 2^{10} \big[$ and:
-\begin{itemize}
-\item $e_0, \hdots, e_9$ the binary digits of the integral part of $x$:
-$\displaystyle{\lfloor x \rfloor = \sum_{k=0}^{9} 2^{9-k} e_k}$.
-\item $(s^k)_{k\in \mathds{N}}$ the digits of $x$, where the chosen decimal
-decomposition of $x$ is the one that does not have an infinite number of 9:
-$\displaystyle{x = \lfloor x \rfloor + \sum_{k=0}^{+\infty} s^k 10^{-k-1}}$.
-\end{itemize}
-$e$ and $s$ are thus defined as follows:
-\begin{equation}
-\begin{array}{cccl}
-e: & \big[ 0, 2^{10} \big[ & \longrightarrow & \mathds{B}^{10} \\
- & x & \longmapsto & (e_0, \hdots, e_9)
-\end{array}
+\begin{proof}
+The proposition is proved by contraposition. Assume that $X$ is not
+secure. By Definition, there exists a polynomial time probabilistic
+algorithm $D$, a positive polynomial $p$, such that for all $k_0$ there exists
+$N\geq \frac{k_0}{2}$ satisfying
+$$| \mathrm{Pr}[D(X(U_{2N}))=1]-\mathrm{Pr}[D(U_{kN}=1]|\geq \frac{1}{p(2N)}.$$
+We describe a new probabilistic algorithm $D^\prime$ on an input $w$ of size
+$kN$:
+\begin{enumerate}
+\item Decompose $w$ into $w=w_1\ldots w_{k}$, where each $w_i$ has size $N$.
+\item Pick a string $y$ of size $N$ uniformly at random.
+\item Compute $z=(y\oplus w_1)(y\oplus w_1\oplus w_2)\ldots (y
+ \bigoplus_{i=1}^{i=k} w_i).$
+\item Return $D(z)$.
+\end{enumerate}
+
+
+Consider for each $y\in \mathbb{B}^{kN}$ the function $\varphi_{y}$
+from $\mathbb{B}^{kN}$ into $\mathbb{B}^{kN}$ mapping $w=w_1\ldots w_k$
+(each $w_i$ has length $N$) to
+$(y\oplus w_1)(y\oplus w_1\oplus w_2)\ldots (y
+ \bigoplus_{i=1}^{i=k_1} w_i).$ By construction, one has for every $w$,
+\begin{equation}\label{PCH-1}
+D^\prime(w)=D(\varphi_y(w)),
\end{equation}
-and
-\begin{equation}
- \begin{array}{cccc}
-s: & \big[ 0, 2^{10} \big[ & \longrightarrow & \llbracket 0, 9
-\rrbracket^{\mathds{N}} \\
- & x & \longmapsto & (s^k)_{k \in \mathds{N}}
-\end{array}
+where $y$ is randomly generated.
+Moreover, for each $y$, $\varphi_{y}$ is injective: if
+$(y\oplus w_1)(y\oplus w_1\oplus w_2)\ldots (y\bigoplus_{i=1}^{i=k_1}
+w_i)=(y\oplus w_1^\prime)(y\oplus w_1^\prime\oplus w_2^\prime)\ldots
+(y\bigoplus_{i=1}^{i=k} w_i^\prime)$, then for every $1\leq j\leq k$,
+$y\bigoplus_{i=1}^{i=j} w_i^\prime=y\bigoplus_{i=1}^{i=j} w_i$. It follows,
+by a direct induction, that $w_i=w_i^\prime$. Furthermore, since $\mathbb{B}^{kN}$
+is finite, each $\varphi_y$ is bijective. Therefore, and using (\ref{PCH-1}),
+one has
+\begin{equation}\label{PCH-2}
+\mathrm{Pr}[D^\prime(U_{kN})=1]=\mathrm{Pr}[D(\varphi_y(U_{kN}))=1]=\mathrm{Pr}[D(U_{kN})=1].
\end{equation}
-\end{definition}
-We are now able to define the function $g$, whose goal is to translate the
-chaotic iterations $\Go$ on an interval of $\mathds{R}$.
-
-\begin{definition}
-$g:\big[ 0, 2^{10} \big[ \longrightarrow \big[ 0, 2^{10} \big[$ is defined by:
-\begin{equation}
-\begin{array}{cccc}
-g: & \big[ 0, 2^{10} \big[ & \longrightarrow & \big[ 0, 2^{10} \big[ \\
- & x & \longmapsto & g(x)
-\end{array}
+Now, using (\ref{PCH-1}) again, one has for every $x$,
+\begin{equation}\label{PCH-3}
+D^\prime(H(x))=D(\varphi_y(H(x))),
\end{equation}
-where g(x) is the real number of $\big[ 0, 2^{10} \big[$ defined bellow:
-\begin{itemize}
-\item its integral part has a binary decomposition equal to $e_0', \hdots,
-e_9'$, with:
- \begin{equation}
-e_i' = \left\{
-\begin{array}{ll}
-e(x)_i & \textrm{ if } i \neq s^0\\
-e(x)_i + 1 \textrm{ (mod 2)} & \textrm{ if } i = s^0\\
-\end{array}
-\right.
+where $y$ is randomly generated. By construction, $\varphi_y(H(x))=X(yx)$,
+thus
+\begin{equation}\label{PCH-3}
+D^\prime(H(x))=D(yx),
\end{equation}
-\item whose decimal part is $s(x)^1, s(x)^2, \hdots$
-\end{itemize}
-\end{definition}
-
-\bigskip
+where $y$ is randomly generated.
+It follows that
-
-In other words, if $x = \displaystyle{\sum_{k=0}^{9} 2^{9-k} e_k +
-\sum_{k=0}^{+\infty} s^{k} ~10^{-k-1}}$, then:
-\begin{equation}
-g(x) =
-\displaystyle{\sum_{k=0}^{9} 2^{9-k} (e_k + \delta(k,s^0) \textrm{ (mod 2)}) +
-\sum_{k=0}^{+\infty} s^{k+1} 10^{-k-1}}.
+\begin{equation}\label{PCH-4}
+\mathrm{Pr}[D^\prime(H(U_{N}))=1]=\mathrm{Pr}[D(U_{2N})=1].
\end{equation}
+ From (\ref{PCH-2}) and (\ref{PCH-4}), one can deduce that
+there exist a polynomial time probabilistic
+algorithm $D^\prime$, a positive polynomial $p$, such that for all $k_0$ there exists
+$N\geq \frac{k_0}{2}$ satisfying
+$$| \mathrm{Pr}[D(H(U_{N}))=1]-\mathrm{Pr}[D(U_{kN}=1]|\geq \frac{1}{p(2N)},$$
+proving that $H$ is not secure, a contradiction.
+\end{proof}
-\subsubsection{Defining a metric on $\big[ 0, 2^{10} \big[$}
-
-Numerous metrics can be defined on the set $\big[ 0, 2^{10} \big[$, the most
-usual one being the Euclidian distance recalled bellow:
-
-\begin{notation}
-\index{distance!euclidienne}
-$\Delta$ is the Euclidian distance on $\big[ 0, 2^{10} \big[$, that is,
-$\Delta(x,y) = |y-x|^2$.
-\end{notation}
-
-\medskip
-
-This Euclidian distance does not reproduce exactly the notion of proximity
-induced by our first distance $d$ on $\X$. Indeed $d$ is finer than $\Delta$.
-This is the reason why we have to introduce the following metric:
-
-
-
-\begin{definition}
-Let $x,y \in \big[ 0, 2^{10} \big[$.
-$D$ denotes the function from $\big[ 0, 2^{10} \big[^2$ to $\mathds{R}^+$
-defined by: $D(x,y) = D_e\left(e(x),e(y)\right) + D_s\left(s(x),s(y)\right)$,
-where:
-\begin{center}
-$\displaystyle{D_e(E,\check{E}) = \sum_{k=0}^\mathsf{9} \delta (E_k,
-\check{E}_k)}$, ~~and~ $\displaystyle{D_s(S,\check{S}) = \sum_{k = 1}^\infty
-\dfrac{|S^k-\check{S}^k|}{10^k}}$.
-\end{center}
-\end{definition}
-
-\begin{proposition}
-$D$ is a distance on $\big[ 0, 2^{10} \big[$.
-\end{proposition}
-
-\begin{proof}
-The three axioms defining a distance must be checked.
+\section{Cryptographical Applications}
+
+\subsection{A Cryptographically Secure PRNG for GPU}
+\label{sec:CSGPU}
+
+It is possible to build a cryptographically secure PRNG based on the previous
+algorithm (Algorithm~\ref{algo:gpu_kernel2}). Due to Proposition~\ref{cryptopreuve},
+it simply consists in replacing
+the {\it xor-like} PRNG by a cryptographically secure one.
+We have chosen the Blum Blum Shum generator~\cite{BBS} (usually denoted by BBS) having the form:
+$$x_{n+1}=x_n^2~ mod~ M$$ where $M$ is the product of two prime numbers. These
+prime numbers need to be congruent to 3 modulus 4. BBS is
+very slow and only usable for cryptographic applications.
+
+
+The modulus operation is the most time consuming operation for current
+GPU cards. So in order to obtain quite reasonable performances, it is
+required to use only modulus on 32 bits integer numbers. Consequently
+$x_n^2$ need to be less than $2^{32}$ and the number $M$ need to be
+less than $2^{16}$. So in practice we can choose prime numbers around
+256 that are congruent to 3 modulus 4. With 32 bits numbers, only the
+4 least significant bits of $x_n$ can be chosen (the maximum number of
+indistinguishable bits is lesser than or equals to
+$log_2(log_2(x_n))$). So to generate a 32 bits number, we need to use
+8 times the BBS algorithm with different combinations of $M$. This
+approach is not sufficient to pass all the tests of TestU01 because
+the fact of having chosen small values of $M$ for the BBS leads to
+have a small period. So, in order to add randomness we proceed with
+the followings modifications.
\begin{itemize}
-\item $D \geqslant 0$, because everything is positive in its definition. If
-$D(x,y)=0$, then $D_e(x,y)=0$, so the integral parts of $x$ and $y$ are equal
-(they have the same binary decomposition). Additionally, $D_s(x,y) = 0$, then
-$\forall k \in \mathds{N}^*, s(x)^k = s(y)^k$. In other words, $x$ and $y$ have
-the same $k-$th decimal digit, $\forall k \in \mathds{N}^*$. And so $x=y$.
-\item $D(x,y)=D(y,x)$.
-\item Finally, the triangular inequality is obtained due to the fact that both
-$\delta$ and $\Delta(x,y)=|x-y|$ satisfy it.
+\item
+First we define 16 arrangement arrays instead of 2 (as described in
+algorithm \ref{algo:gpu_kernel2}) but only 2 are used at each call of
+the PRNG kernels. In practice, the selection of which combinations
+arrays will be used is different for all the threads and is determined
+by using the three last bits of two internal variables used by BBS.
+This approach adds more randomness. In algorithm~\ref{algo:bbs_gpu},
+character \& performs the AND bitwise. So using \&7 with a number
+gives the last 3 bits, so it provides a number between 0 and 7.
+\item
+Second, after the generation of the 8 BBS numbers for each thread we
+have a 32 bits number for which the period is possibly quite small. So
+to add randomness, we generate 4 more BBS numbers which allows us to
+shift the 32 bits numbers and add upto 6 new bits. This part is
+described in algorithm~\ref{algo:bbs_gpu}. In practice, if we call
+{\it strategy}, the number representing the strategy, the last 2 bits
+of the first new BBS number are used to make a left shift of at least
+3 bits. The last 3 bits of the second new BBS number are add to the
+strategy whatever the value of the first left shift. The third and the
+fourth new BBS numbers are used similarly to apply a new left shift
+and add 3 new bits.
+\item
+Finally, as we use 8 BBS numbers for each thread, the store of these
+numbers at the end of the kernel is performed using a rotation. So,
+internal variable for BBS number 1 is stored in place 2, internal
+variable for BBS number 2 is store ind place 3, ... and internal
+variable for BBS number 8 is stored in place 1.
\end{itemize}
-\end{proof}

-The convergence of sequences according to $D$ is not the same than the usual
-convergence related to the Euclidian metric. For instance, if $x^n \to x$
-according to $D$, then necessarily the integral part of each $x^n$ is equal to
-the integral part of $x$ (at least after a given threshold), and the decimal
-part of $x^n$ corresponds to the one of $x$ ``as far as required''.
-To illustrate this fact, a comparison between $D$ and the Euclidian distance is
-given Figure \ref{fig:comparaison de distances}. These illustrations show that
-$D$ is richer and more refined than the Euclidian distance, and thus is more
-precise.

-\subsubsection{The semiconjugacy}
-
-It is now possible to define a topological semiconjugacy between $\mathcal{X}$
-and an interval of $\mathds{R}$:
-
-\begin{theorem}
-Chaotic iterations on the phase space $\mathcal{X}$ are simple iterations on
-$\mathds{R}$, which is illustrated by the semiconjugacy of the diagram bellow:
-\begin{equation*}
-\begin{CD}
-\left(~\mathcal{S}_{10} \times\mathds{B}^{10}, d~\right) @>G_{f_0}>>
-\left(~\mathcal{S}_{10} \times\mathds{B}^{10}, d~\right)\\
- @V{\varphi}VV @VV{\varphi}V\\
-\left( ~\big[ 0, 2^{10} \big[, D~\right) @>>g> \left(~\big[ 0, 2^{10} \big[,
-D~\right)
-\end{CD}
-\end{equation*}
-\end{theorem}
-
-\begin{proof}
-$\varphi$ has been constructed in order to be continuous and onto.
-\end{proof}
-
-In other words, $\mathcal{X}$ is approximately equal to $\big[ 0, 2^\mathsf{N}
-\big[$.

+\subsubsection{Recalls of the Blum-Goldwasser Probabilistic Cryptosystem}
-We have written a Python program to represent the chaotic iterations with the
-vectorial negation on the real line $\mathds{R}$. Various representations of
-these CIs are given in Figures \ref{fig:ICs}, \ref{fig:ICs2} and \ref{fig:ICs3}.
-It can be remarked that the function $g$ is a piecewise linear function: it is
-linear on each interval having the form $\left[ \dfrac{n}{10},
-\dfrac{n+1}{10}\right[$, $n \in \llbracket 0;2^{10}\times 10 \rrbracket$ and its
-slope is equal to 10. Let us justify these claims:
+The Blum-Goldwasser cryptosystem is a cryptographically secure asymmetric key encryption algorithm
+proposed in 1984~\cite{Blum:1985:EPP:19478.19501}. The encryption algorithm
+implements a XOR-based stream cipher using the BBS PRNG, in order to generate
+the keystream. Decryption is done by obtaining the initial seed thanks to
+the final state of the BBS generator and the secret key, thus leading to the
+ reconstruction of the keystream.
-\begin{proposition}
-\label{Prop:derivabilite des ICs}
-Chaotic iterations $g$ defined on $\mathds{R}$ have derivatives of all orders on
-$\big[ 0, 2^{10} \big[$, except on the 10241 points in $I$ defined by $\left\{
-\dfrac{n}{10} ~\big/~ n \in \llbracket 0;2^{10}\times 10\rrbracket \right\}$.
-
-Furthermore, on each interval of the form $\left[ \dfrac{n}{10},
-\dfrac{n+1}{10}\right[$, with $n \in \llbracket 0;2^{10}\times 10 \rrbracket$,
-$g$ is a linear function, having a slope equal to 10: $\forall x \notin I,
-g'(x)=10$.
-\end{proposition}
+The key generation consists in generating two prime numbers $(p,q)$,
+randomly and independently of each other, that are
+ congruent to 3 mod 4, and to compute the modulus $N=pq$.
+The public key is $N$, whereas the secret key is the factorization $(p,q)$.
-\begin{proof}
-Let $I_n = \left[ \dfrac{n}{10}, \dfrac{n+1}{10}\right[$, with $n \in \llbracket
-0;2^{10}\times 10 \rrbracket$. All the points of $I_n$ have the same integral
-prat $e$ and the same decimal part $s^0$: on the set $I_n$, functions $e(x)$
-and $x \mapsto s(x)^0$ of Definition \ref{def:e et s} only depend on $n$. So all
-the images $g(x)$ of these points $x$:
+Suppose Bob wishes to send a string $m=(m_0, \dots, m_{L-1})$ of $L$ bits to Alice:
+\begin{enumerate}
+\item Bob picks an integer $r$ randomly in the interval $\llbracket 1,N\rrbracket$ and computes $x_0 = r^2~mod~N$.
+\item He uses the BBS to generate the keystream of $L$ pseudorandom bits $(b_0, \dots, b_{L-1})$, as follows. For $i=0$ to $L-1$,
\begin{itemize}
-\item Have the same integral part, which is $e$, except probably the bit number
-$s^0$. In other words, this integer has approximately the same binary
-decomposition than $e$, the sole exception being the digit $s^0$ (this number is
-then either $e+2^{10-s^0}$ or $e-2^{10-s^0}$, depending on the parity of $s^0$,
-\emph{i.e.}, it is equal to $e+(-1)^{s^0}\times 2^{10-s^0}$).
-\item A shift to the left has been applied to the decimal part $y$, losing by
-doing so the common first digit $s^0$. In other words, $y$ has been mapped into
-$10\times y - s^0$.
-\end{itemize}
-To sum up, the action of $g$ on the points of $I$ is as follows: first, make a
-multiplication by 10, and second, add the same constant to each term, which is
-$\dfrac{1}{10}\left(e+(-1)^{s^0}\times 2^{10-s^0}\right)-s^0$.
-\end{proof}
-
-\begin{remark}
-Finally, chaotic iterations are elements of the large family of functions that
-are both chaotic and piecewise linear (like the tent map).
-\end{remark}

-\subsection{Comparison of the two metrics on $\big[ 0, 2^\mathsf{N} \big[$}
-
-The two propositions bellow allow to compare our two distances on $\big[ 0,
-2^\mathsf{N} \big[$:
-
-\begin{proposition}
-Id: $\left(~\big[ 0, 2^\mathsf{N} \big[,\Delta~\right) \to \left(~\big[ 0,
-2^\mathsf{N} \big[, D~\right)$ is not continuous.
-\end{proposition}
-
-\begin{proof}
-The sequence $x^n = 1,999\hdots 999$ constituted by $n$ 9 as decimal part, is
-such that:
+\item $i=0$.
+\item While $i \leqslant L-1$:
\begin{itemize}
-\item $\Delta (x^n,2) \to 0.$
-\item But $D(x^n,2) \geqslant 1$, then $D(x^n,2)$ does not converge to 0.
+\item Set $b_i$ equal to the least-significant\footnote{BBS can securely output up to $\mathsf{N} = \lfloor log(log(N)) \rfloor$ of the least-significant bits of $x_i$ during each round.} bit of $x_i$,
+\item $i=i+1$,
+\item $x_i = (x_{i-1})^2~mod~N.$
\end{itemize}
-
-The sequential characterization of the continuity concludes the demonstration.
-\end{proof}
-
-
-
-A contrario:
-
-\begin{proposition}
-Id: $\left(~\big[ 0, 2^\mathsf{N} \big[,D~\right) \to \left(~\big[ 0,
-2^\mathsf{N} \big[, \Delta ~\right)$ is a continuous fonction.
-\end{proposition}
-
-\begin{proof}
-If $D(x^n,x) \to 0$, then $D_e(x^n,x) = 0$ at least for $n$ larger than a given
-threshold, because $D_e$ only returns integers. So, after this threshold, the
-integral parts of all the $x^n$ are equal to the integral part of $x$.
-
-Additionally, $D_s(x^n, x) \to 0$, then $\forall k \in \mathds{N}^*, \exists N_k
-\in \mathds{N}, n \geqslant N_k \Rightarrow D_s(x^n,x) \leqslant 10^{-k}$. This
-means that for all $k$, an index $N_k$ can be found such that, $\forall n
-\geqslant N_k$, all the $x^n$ have the same $k$ firsts digits, which are the
-digits of $x$. We can deduce the convergence $\Delta(x^n,x) \to 0$, and thus the
-result.
-\end{proof}
-
-The conclusion of these propositions is that the proposed metric is more precise
-than the Euclidian distance, that is:
-
-\begin{corollary}
-$D$ is finer than the Euclidian distance $\Delta$.
-\end{corollary}
-
-This corollary can be reformulated as follows:
-
-\begin{itemize}
-\item The topology produced by $\Delta$ is a subset of the topology produced by
-$D$.
-\item $D$ has more open sets than $\Delta$.
-\item It is harder to converge for the topology $\tau_D$ inherited by $D$, than
-to converge with the one inherited by $\Delta$, which is denoted here by
-$\tau_\Delta$.
\end{itemize}
+\item The ciphertext is computed by XORing the plaintext bits $m$ with the keystream: $ c = (c_0, \dots, c_{L-1}) = m \oplus b$. This ciphertext is $[c, y]$, where $y=x_{0}^{2^{L}}~mod~N.$
+\end{enumerate}
-\subsection{Chaos of the chaotic iterations on $\mathds{R}$}
-\label{chpt:Chaos des itérations chaotiques sur R}
-
+When Alice receives $\left[(c_0, \dots, c_{L-1}), y\right]$, she can recover $m$ as follows:
+\begin{enumerate}
+\item Using the secret key $(p,q)$, she computes $r_p = y^{((p+1)/4)^{L}}~mod~p$ and $r_q = y^{((q+1)/4)^{L}}~mod~q$.
+\item The initial seed can be obtained using the following procedure: $x_0=q(q^{-1}~{mod}~p)r_p + p(p^{-1}~{mod}~q)r_q~{mod}~N$.
+\item She recomputes the bit-vector $b$ by using BBS and $x_0$.
+\item Alice computes finally the plaintext by XORing the keystream with the ciphertext: $ m = c \oplus b$.
+\end{enumerate}
-\subsubsection{Chaos according to Devaney}
+\subsubsection{Proposal of a new Asymmetric Cryptosystem Adapted from Blum-Goldwasser}
-We have recalled previously that the chaotic iterations $\left(\Go,
-\mathcal{X}_d\right)$ are chaotic according to the formulation of Devaney. We
-can deduce that they are chaotic on $\mathds{R}$ too, when considering the order
-topology, because:
-\begin{itemize}
-\item $\left(\Go, \mathcal{X}_d\right)$ and $\left(g, \big[ 0, 2^{10}
-\big[_D\right)$ are semiconjugate by $\varphi$,
-\item Then $\left(g, \big[ 0, 2^{10} \big[_D\right)$ is a system chaotic
-according to Devaney, because the semiconjugacy preserve this character.
-\item But the topology generated by $D$ is finer than the topology generated by
-the Euclidian distance $\Delta$ -- which is the order topology.
-\item According to Theorem \ref{Th:chaos et finesse}, we can deduce that the
-chaotic iterations $g$ are indeed chaotic, as defined by Devaney, for the order
-topology on $\mathds{R}$.
-\end{itemize}
+We propose to adapt the Blum-Goldwasser protocol as follows.
+Let $\mathsf{N} = \lfloor log(log(N)) \rfloor$ be the number of bits that can
+be obtained securely with the BBS generator using the public key $N$ of Alice.
+Alice will pick randomly $S^0$ in $\llbracket 0, 2^{\mathsf{N}-1}\rrbracket$ too, and
+her new public key will be $(S^0, N)$.
-This result can be formulated as follows.
+To encrypt his message, Bob will compute
+\begin{equation}
+c = \left(m_0 \oplus (b_0 \oplus S^0), m_1 \oplus (b_0 \oplus b_1 \oplus S^0), \hdots, m_{L-1} \oplus (b_0 \oplus b_1 \hdots \oplus b_{L-1} \oplus S^0) \right)
+\end{equation}
+instead of $\left(m_0 \oplus b_0, m_1 \oplus b_1, \hdots, m_{L-1} \oplus b_{L-1} \right)$.
-\begin{theorem}
-\label{th:IC et topologie de l'ordre}
-The chaotic iterations $g$ on $\mathds{R}$ are chaotic according to the
-Devaney's formulation, when $\mathds{R}$ has his usual topology, which is the
-order topology.
-\end{theorem}
+The same decryption stage as in Blum-Goldwasser leads to the sequence
+$\left(m_0 \oplus S^0, m_1 \oplus S^0, \hdots, m_{L-1} \oplus S^0 \right)$.
+Thus, with a simple use of $S^0$, Alice can obtained the plaintext.
+By doing so, the proposed generator is used in place of BBS, leading to
+the inheritance of all the properties presented in this paper.
-Indeed this result is weaker than the theorem establishing the chaos for the
-finer topology $d$. However the Theorem \ref{th:IC et topologie de l'ordre}
-still remains important. Indeed, we have studied in our previous works a set
-different from the usual set of study ($\mathcal{X}$ instead of $\mathds{R}$),
-in order to be as close as possible from the computer: the properties of
-disorder proved theoretically will then be preserved when computing. However, we
-could wonder whether this change does not lead to a disorder of a lower quality.
-In other words, have we replaced a situation of a good disorder lost when
-computing, to another situation of a disorder preserved but of bad quality.
-Theorem \ref{th:IC et topologie de l'ordre} prove exactly the contrary.
-
+\section{Conclusion}
+In this paper we have presented a new class of PRNGs based on chaotic
+iterations. We have proven that these PRNGs are chaotic in the sense of Devaney.
+We also propose a PRNG cryptographically secure and its implementation on GPU.
+An efficient implementation on GPU based on a xor-like PRNG allows us to
+generate a huge number of pseudorandom numbers per second (about
+20Gsamples/s). This PRNG succeeds to pass the hardest batteries of TestU01.
+In future work we plan to extend this work for parallel PRNG for clusters or
+grid computing.
