\section{Introduction}
-Randomness is of importance in many fields as scientific simulations or cryptography.
+Randomness is of importance in many fields such 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
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 deflation 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 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
+sequence. Or, in an equivalent formulation, he or she should not be
+able (in practice) to predict the next bit of the generator, having the knowledge of all the
+binary digits that have been already released. ``Being able in practice'' refers here
+to the possibility to achieve this attack in polynomial time, and to the exponential growth
+of the difficulty of this challenge when the size of the parameters of the PRNG increases.
+
+
+Finally, a small part of the community working in this domain focuses 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 word chaotic.
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
+Indeed, to the authors' mind, 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}.
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}.
+This battery can be found in the well-known TestU01 package~\cite{LEcuyerS07}.
+More precisely, each time we performed a test on a PRNG, we ran it
+twice in order to observe if all $p-$values are inside [0.01, 0.99]. In
+fact, we observed that few $p-$values (less than ten) are sometimes
+outside this interval but inside [0.001, 0.999], so that is why a
+second run allows us to confirm that the values outside are not for
+the same test. With this approach all our PRNGs pass the {\it
+ BigCrush} successfully and all $p-$values are at least once inside
+[0.01, 0.99].
Chaos, for its part, refers to the well-established definition of a

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
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.

+{\bf Main contributions.} In this paper a new PRNG using chaotic iteration
+is defined. From a theoretical point of view, it is proven that it has fine
+topological chaotic properties and that it is cryptographically secured (when
+the initial PRNG is also cryptographically secured). From a practical point of
+view, experiments point out a very good statistical behavior. An optimized

+random generator. The generation speed is significantly weaker.

+%properties and statistical tests is also proposed.

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.
The proposed PRNG and its proof 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 and evaluates theoretically the GPU implementation.
+%Section~\ref{The generation of pseudorandom sequence} illustrates the statistical
+%improvement related to the chaotic iteration based post-treatment, for
+%our previously released PRNGs and a new efficient
+%implementation on CPU.
+ Section~\ref{sec:efficient PRNG} %{sec:efficient PRNG
+% gpu}
+ describes and evaluates theoretically new effective versions of
+our pseudorandom generators, in particular with a 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.
+A practical
+security evaluation is also outlined in Section~\ref{sec:Practicak evaluation}.
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}, and to an improvement of the
+chaotic generator on GPU based on the famous Blum Blum Shub
+in Section~\ref{sec:CSGPU} and to an improvement of the
Blum-Goldwasser protocol in Sect.~\ref{Blum-Goldwasser}.
This research work ends by a conclusion section, in which the contribution is
summarized and intended future work is presented.

two PRNGs as inputs. These two generators are mixed with chaotic iterations,

+\subsection{A ``New CI PRNG''}
+
+In order to make the Old CI PRNG usable in practice, we have proposed
+an adapted version of the chaotic iteration based generator in~\cite{bg10:ip}.
+In this ``New CI PRNG'', we prevent a given bit from changing twice between two outputs.
+This new generator is designed by the following process.
+
+First of all, some chaotic iterations have to be done to generate a sequence
+$\left(x^n\right)_{n\in\mathds{N}} \in \left(\mathds{B}^{32}\right)^\mathds{N}$
+of Boolean vectors, which are the successive states of the iterated system.
+Some of these vectors will be randomly extracted and our pseudorandom bit
+flow will be constituted by their components. Such chaotic iterations are
+realized as follows. Initial state $x^0 \in \mathds{B}^{32}$ is a Boolean
+vector taken as a seed and chaotic strategy $\left(S^n\right)_{n\in\mathds{N}}\in
+\llbracket 1, 32 \rrbracket^\mathds{N}$ is
+an \emph{irregular decimation} of $PRNG_2$ sequence, as described in
+Algorithm~\ref{Chaotic iteration1}.
+
+Then, at each iteration, only the $S^n$-th component of state $x^n$ is
+updated, as follows: $x_i^n = x_i^{n-1}$ if $i \neq S^n$, else $x_i^n = \overline{x_i^{n-1}}$.
+Such a procedure is equivalent to achieving chaotic iterations with
+the Boolean vectorial negation $f_0$ and some well-chosen strategies.
+Finally, some $x^n$ are selected
+by a sequence $m^n$ as the pseudorandom bit sequence of our generator.
+$(m^n)_{n \in \mathds{N}} \in \mathcal{M}^\mathds{N}$ is computed from $PRNG_1$, where $\mathcal{M}\subset \mathds{N}^*$ is a finite nonempty set of integers.
+
+The basic design procedure of the New CI generator is summarized in Algorithm~\ref{Chaotic iteration1}.
+The internal state is $x$, the output state is $r$. $a$ and $b$ are those computed by the two input
+PRNGs. Lastly, the value $g(a)$ is an integer defined as in Eq.~\ref{Formula}.
+This function must be chosen such that the outputs of the resulted PRNG are uniform in $\llbracket 0, 2^\mathsf{N}-1 \rrbracket$. Function of \eqref{Formula} achieves this
+goal (other candidates and more information can be found in ~\cite{bg10:ip}).

-\section{Efficient PRNG based on Chaotic Iterations}
+%\section{Statistical Improvements Using Chaotic Iterations}
+
+%\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}
+%\end{equation}
+%where $a$, $c$, and $x^0$ must be, among other things, non-negative and inferior to
+%$m$~\cite{LEcuyerS07}. In what follows, 2LCGs and 3LCGs refer to two (resp. three)
+%combinations of such LCGs. For further details, see~\cite{bfg12a:ip,combined_lcg}.
+
+%Secondly, the multiple recursive generators (MRGs) which will be used,
+%are based on a linear recurrence of order
+%$k$, modulo $m$~\cite{LEcuyerS07}:
+%\begin{equation}
+%x^n = (a^1x^{n-1}+~...~+a^kx^{n-k})~mod~m .
+%\label{MRG}
+%\end{equation}
+%The combination of two MRGs (referred as 2MRGs) is also used in these experiments.
+
+%Generators based on linear recurrences with carry will be regarded too.
+%This family of generators 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, 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}
+
+%Then the generalized feedback shift register (GFSR) generator has been implemented, that is:
+%\begin{equation}
+%x^n = x^{n-r} \oplus x^{n-k} .
+%\label{GFSR}
+%\end{equation}
+
+
+%Finally, the nonlinear inversive (INV) generator~\cite{LEcuyerS07} has been studied, 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}

+%Table~\ref{NIST and DieHARD tests suite passing rate the for PRNGs without CI} shows the

+%in the previous section
+%cannot pass all these tests. In other words, the statistical quality of these PRNGs cannot
+%fulfill the up-to-date standards presented previously. We have shown in~\cite{bfg12a:ip} that the use of chaotic
+%iterations can solve this issue.

\section{Security Analysis}
-\label{sec:security analysis}
+This section is dedicated to the security analysis of the
+ proposed PRNGs, both from a theoretical and from a practical point of view.
+
+\subsection{Theoretical Proof of Security}
+\label{sec:security analysis}
+
+The standard definition
+ of {\it indistinguishability} used is the classical one as defined for
+ instance in~\cite[chapter~3]{Goldreich}.
+ This property shows that predicting the future results of the PRNG
+ cannot be done in a reasonable time compared to the generation time. It is important to emphasize that this
+ is a relative notion between breaking time and the sizes of the
+ keys/seeds. Of course, if small keys or seeds are chosen, the system can
+ be broken in practice. But it also means that if the keys/seeds are large
+ enough, the system is secured.
+As a complement, an example of a concrete practical evaluation of security
+is outlined in the next subsection.
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 $m$ of length $m$, $G(m)$ (the output of $G$ on the input $m$) has size
+seed $s$ of length $m$, $G(s)$ (the output of $G$ on the input $s$) has size
$\ell_G(m)$ with $\ell_G(m)>m$.
The notion of {\it secure} PRNGs can now be defined as follows.

\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 $\ell^\prime(m)>m)$~\cite[Chapter 3.3]{Goldreich}.
+Intuitively, it means that there is no polynomial time algorithm that can

We claim now that if this PRNG is secure,
then the new one is secure too.
\end{proposition}
\begin{proof}
-The proposition is proved by contraposition. Assume that $X$ is not
+The proposition is proven by contraposition. Assume that $X$ is not

algorithm $D$, a positive polynomial $p$, such that for all $k_0$ there exists
$N\geq \frac{k_0}{2}$ satisfying
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
+$\mathrm{Pr}[D^\prime(U_{kN})=1]=\mathrm{Pr}[D(\varphi_y(U_{kN}))=1]$ and,
+therefore,
\begin{equation}\label{PCH-2}

+\mathrm{Pr}[D^\prime(U_{kN})=1]=\mathrm{Pr}[D(U_{kN})=1].
\end{equation}
Now, using (\ref{PCH-1}) again, one has for every $x$,
\end{equation}
where $y$ is randomly generated. By construction, $\varphi_y(H(x))=X(yx)$,
thus

+\subsection{Practical Security Evaluation}
+\label{sec:Practicak evaluation}
+
+Pseudorandom generators based on Eq.~\eqref{equation Oplus} are thus cryptographically secure when
+they are XORed with an already cryptographically
+secure PRNG. But, as stated previously,
+such a property does not mean that, whatever the
+key size, no attacker can predict the next bit
+knowing all the previously released ones.
+However, given a key size, it is possible to
+measure in practice the minimum duration needed
+for an attacker to break a cryptographically
+secure PRNG, if we know the power of his/her
+machines. Such a concrete security evaluation
+is related to the $(T,\varepsilon)-$security
+notion, which is recalled and evaluated in what
+follows, for the sake of completeness.
+
+Let us firstly recall that,
+\begin{definition}
+Let $\mathcal{D} : \mathds{B}^M \longrightarrow \mathds{B}$ be a probabilistic algorithm that runs
+in time $T$.
+Let $\varepsilon > 0$.
+$\mathcal{D}$ is called a $(T,\varepsilon)-$distinguishing attack on pseudorandom
+generator $G$ if
+
+$$\left| Pr[\mathcal{D}(G(k)) = 1 \mid k \in_R \{0,1\}^\ell ]\right. - \left. Pr[\mathcal{D}(s) = 1 \mid s \in_R \mathds{B}^M ]\right| \geqslant \varepsilon,$$
+\noindent where the probability is taken over the internal coin flips of $\mathcal{D}$, and the notation
+``$\in_R$'' indicates the process of selecting an element at random and uniformly over the
+corresponding set.
+\end{definition}
+
+Let us recall that the running time of a probabilistic algorithm is defined to be the
+maximum of the expected number of steps needed to produce an output, maximized
+over all inputs; the expected number is averaged over all coin flips made by the algorithm~\cite{Knuth97}.
+We are now able to define the notion of cryptographically secure PRNGs:
+
+\begin{definition}
+A pseudorandom generator is $(T,\varepsilon)-$secure if there exists no $(T,\varepsilon)-$distinguishing attack on this pseudorandom generator.
+\end{definition}
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+Suppose now that the PRNG of Eq.~\eqref{equation Oplus} will work during
+$M=100$ time units, and that during this period,
+an attacker can realize $10^{12}$ clock cycles.
+We thus wonder whether, during the PRNG's
+lifetime, the attacker can distinguish this
+sequence from a truly random one, with a probability
+greater than $\varepsilon = 0.2$.
+We consider that $N$ has 900 bits.
+
+Predicting the next generated bit knowing all the
+previously released ones by Eq.~\eqref{equation Oplus} is obviously equivalent to predicting the
+next bit in the BBS generator, which
+is cryptographically secure. More precisely, it
+is $(T,\varepsilon)-$secure: no
+$(T,\varepsilon)-$distinguishing attack can be
+successfully realized on this PRNG, if~\cite{Fischlin}
+\begin{equation}
+T \leqslant \dfrac{L(N)}{6 N (log_2(N))\varepsilon^{-2}M^2}-2^7 N \varepsilon^{-2} M^2 log_2 (8 N \varepsilon^{-1}M)
+\label{mesureConcrete}
+\end{equation}
+where $M$ is the length of the output ($M=100$ in
+our example), and $L(N)$ is equal to
+$$
+2.8\times 10^{-3} exp \left(1.9229 \times (N ~ln~ 2)^\frac{1}{3} \times (ln(N~ln~ 2))^\frac{2}{3}\right)
+$$
+is the number of clock cycles to factor a $N-$bit
+integer.
+
+
+
+
+A direct numerical application shows that this attacker
+cannot achieve its $(10^{12},0.2)$ distinguishing
+attack in that context.

\item
Secondly, after the generation of the 8 BBS numbers for each thread, we

shift the 32-bits numbers, and add up to 6 new bits. This improvement is
described in Algorithm~\ref{algo:bbs_gpu}. In practice, the last 2 bits
of the first new BBS number are used to make a left shift of at most

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.

20Gsamples/s), and that these proposed PRNGs succeed to pass the hardest battery in TestU01,
namely the BigCrush.
Furthermore, we have shown that when the inputted generator is cryptographically
secure, then it is the case too for the PRNG we propose, thus leading to
the possibility to develop fast and secure PRNGs using the GPU architecture.
