At the end of 9.1, the authors say $S^n$ is secure because it is formed from bits from the BBS generator, but do not consider if the use of such small values will lead to exhaust searches to determine individual bits. The authors either need to remove all of section 9 and or prove the resulting PRNG is cryptographically secure.} +A new section has been added to measure practically the security of the generator. + \bigskip \textit{In the conclusion: Reword last sentence of 1st paragraph
