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. However, 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. +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' 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}. +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 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 +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 generate almost 20 billion of pseudorandom numbers per second. +Furthermore, we show that the proposed post-treatment preserves the +cryptographical security of the inputted PRNG, when this last has such a +property. +Last, but not least, we propose a rewriting of the Blum-Goldwasser asymmetric +key encryption protocol by using the proposed method. + + +{\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 +original implementation of this PRNG is also proposed and experimented. +Pseudorandom numbers are generated at a rate of 20GSamples/s, which is faster +than in~\cite{conf/fpga/ThomasHL09,Marsaglia2003} (and with a better +statistical behavior). Experiments are also provided using BBS as the initial +random generator. The generation speed is significantly weaker. +Note also that an original qualitative comparison between topological chaotic +properties and statistical test 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} %{The generation of pseudorandom sequence} %illustrates the statistical +%improvement related to the chaotic iteration based post-treatment, for +%our previously released PRNGs and + contains a new efficient +implementation on CPU. + Section~\ref{sec:efficient PRNG + gpu} describes and evaluates theoretically 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. +%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 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. + + + + +\section{Related work on GPU based PRNGs} +\label{section:related works} + +Numerous research works on defining GPU based PRNGs have already been proposed in the +literature, so that exhaustivity 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. Performances 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 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 far easier than 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 has been proven to be chaotic, and the cryptographically secure property has surprisingly never been considered. \section{Basic Recalls} \label{section:BASIC RECALLS} -This section is devoted to basic definitions and terminologies in the fields of topological chaos and chaotic iterations. -\subsection{Devaney's chaotic dynamical systems} -In the sequel $S^{n}$ denotes the $n^{th}$ term of a sequence $S$ and $V_{i}$ denotes the $i^{th}$ component of a vector $V$. $f^{k}=f\circ ...\circ f$ denotes the $k^{th}$ composition of a function $f$.

A similar property is regarded in the following NIST test~\cite{Nist10}. +%% \begin{itemize} +%% \item \textbf{Runs Test}.

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}.

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}.

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} + + + +%% \begin{table} +%% \renewcommand{\arraystretch}{1.3} +%% \caption{TestU01 Statistical Test Failures} +%% \label{TestU011} +%% \centering +%% \begin{tabular}{lccccc} +%% \toprule +%% Test name &Tests& Logistic & XORshift & ISAAC\\ +%% Rabbit & 38 &21 &14 &0 \\ +%% Alphabit & 17 &16 &9 &0 \\ +%% Pseudo DieHARD &126 &0 &2 &0 \\ +%% FIPS\_140\_2 &16 &0 &0 &0 \\ +%% SmallCrush &15 &4 &5 &0 \\ +%% Crush &144 &95 &57 &0 \\ +%% Big Crush &160 &125 &55 &0 \\ \hline +%% Failures & &261 &146 &0 \\ +%% \bottomrule +%% \end{tabular} +%% \end{table} + + + +%% \begin{table} +%% \renewcommand{\arraystretch}{1.3} +%% \caption{TestU01 Statistical Test Failures for Old CI algorithms ($\mathsf{N}=4$)} +%% \label{TestU01 for Old CI} +%% \centering +%% \begin{tabular}{lcccc} +%% \toprule +%% \multirow{3}*{Test name} & \multicolumn{4}{c}{Old CI}\\ +%% &Logistic& XORshift& ISAAC&ISAAC \\ +%% &+& +& + & + \\ +%% &Logistic& XORshift& XORshift&ISAAC \\ \cmidrule(r){2-5} +%% Rabbit &7 &2 &0 &0 \\ +%% Alphabit & 3 &0 &0 &0 \\ +%% DieHARD &0 &0 &0 &0 \\ +%% FIPS\_140\_2 &0 &0 &0 &0 \\ +%% SmallCrush &2 &0 &0 &0 \\ +%% Crush &47 &4 &0 &0 \\ +%% Big Crush &79 &3 &0 &0 \\ \hline +%% Failures &138 &9 &0 &0 \\ +%% \bottomrule +%% \end{tabular} +%% \end{table} + + + + + +%% \subsection{Statistical tests} +%% \label{Security analysis} + +%% Three batteries of tests are reputed and regularly used +%% to evaluate the statistical properties of newly designed pseudorandom +%% number generators.

The xor operator is represented by +\textasciicircum. This function uses three classical 64-bits PRNGs, namely the +\texttt{xorshift}, the \texttt{xor128}, and the +\texttt{xorwow}~\cite{Marsaglia2003}. In the following, we call them ``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)(t$>>$32)} in order to obtain the 32 most significant bits of \texttt{t}. -\begin{notation} -\index{distance!euclidienne} -$\Delta$ is the Euclidian distance on $\big[ 0, 2^{10} \big[$, that is, $\Delta(x,y) = |y-x|^2$. -\end{notation} +Thus 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 +stringent BigCrush battery of tests~\cite{LEcuyerS07}. +At this point, we thus +have defined an efficient and statistically unbiased generator. Its speed is +directly related to the use of linear operations, but for the same reason, +this fast generator cannot be proven as secure. -\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: +\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 Listing +\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. Furthermore, in CUDA, parts of the code that are executed by the GPU, are +called {\it kernels}. -\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} +\subsection{Naive Version for GPU} -\begin{proof} -The three axioms defining a distance must be checked. -\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. -\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. - - -\begin{figure}[t] -\begin{center} - \subfigure[Function $x \to dist(x;1,234) $ on the interval $(0;5)$.]{\includegraphics[scale=.35]{DvsEuclidien.pdf}}\quad - \subfigure[Function $x \to dist(x;3) $ on the interval $(0;5)$.]{\includegraphics[scale=.35]{DvsEuclidien2.pdf}} -\end{center} -\caption{Comparison between $D$ (in blue) and the Euclidian distane (in green).} -\label{fig:comparaison de distances} -\end{figure} + +It is possible to deduce from the CPU version a quite similar version adapted to GPU. +The simple principle consists in making 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 parameters 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. +\begin{algorithm} +\begin{small} +\KwIn{InternalVarXorLikeArray: array with internal variables of the 3 xor-like +PRNGs in global memory\; +NumThreads: number of threads\;} +\KwOut{NewNb: array containing random numbers in global memory} +\If{threadIdx is concerned by the computation} { + retrieve data from InternalVarXorLikeArray[threadIdx] in local variables\; + \For{i=1 to n} { + compute a new PRNG as in Listing\ref{algo:seqCIPRNG}\; + store the new PRNG in NewNb[NumThreads*threadIdx+i]\; + } + store internal variables in InternalVarXorLikeArray[threadIdx]\; +} +\end{small} +\caption{Main kernel of the GPU ``naive'' version of the PRNG based on chaotic iterations} +\label{algo:gpu_kernel} +\end{algorithm} -\subsubsection{The semiconjugacy} -It is now possible to define a topological semiconjugacy between $\mathcal{X}$ and an interval of $\mathds{R}$: +Algorithm~\ref{algo:gpu_kernel} presents a naive implementation of the proposed PRNG on +GPU. Due to the available memory in the GPU and the number of threads +used simultaneously, the number of random numbers that a thread can generate +inside a kernel is limited (\emph{i.e.}, the variable \texttt{n} in +algorithm~\ref{algo:gpu_kernel}). For instance, if $100,000$ threads are used and +if $n=100$\footnote{in fact, we need to add the initial seed (a 32-bits number)}, +then the memory required to store all of the internals variables of both the xor-like +PRNGs\footnote{we multiply this number by $2$ in order to count 32-bits numbers} +and the pseudorandom numbers generated by our PRNG, is equal to $100,000\times ((4+5+6)\times +2+(1+100))=1,310,000$ 32-bits numbers, that is, approximately $52$Mb. -\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} +This generator is able to pass the whole BigCrush battery of tests, for all +the versions that have been tested depending on their number of threads +(called \texttt{NumThreads} in our algorithm, tested up to $5$ million). -\begin{proof} -$\varphi$ has been constructed in order to be continuous and onto. -\end{proof} +\begin{remark} +The proposed algorithm has the advantage of manipulating independent +PRNGs, so this version is easily adaptable on a cluster of computers too. The only thing +to ensure is to use a single ISAAC PRNG. To achieve this requirement, a simple solution consists in +using a master node for the initialization. This master node computes the initial parameters +for all the different nodes involved in the computation. +\end{remark} -In other words, $\mathcal{X}$ is approximately equal to $\big[ 0, 2^\mathsf{N} \big[$. +\subsection{Improved Version for GPU} +As GPU cards using CUDA have shared memory between threads of the same block, it +is possible to use this feature in order to simplify the previous algorithm, +i.e., to use less than 3 xor-like PRNGs. The solution consists in computing only +one xor-like PRNG by thread, saving it into the shared memory, and then to use the results +of some other threads in the same block of threads. In order to define which +thread uses the result of which other one, we can use a combination array that +contains the indexes of all threads and for which a combination has been +performed. +In Algorithm~\ref{algo:gpu_kernel2}, two combination arrays are used. The +variable \texttt{offset} is computed using the value of +\texttt{combination\_size}. Then we can compute \texttt{o1} and \texttt{o2} +representing the indexes of the other threads whose results are used by the +current one. In this algorithm, we consider that a 32-bits xor-like PRNG has +been chosen. In practice, we use the xor128 proposed in~\cite{Marsaglia2003} in +which unsigned longs (64 bits) have been replaced by unsigned integers (32 +bits). +This version can also pass the whole {\it BigCrush} battery of tests. +\begin{algorithm} +\begin{small} +\KwIn{InternalVarXorLikeArray: array with internal variables of 1 xor-like PRNGs +in global memory\; +NumThreads: Number of threads\; +array\_comb1, array\_comb2: Arrays containing combinations of size combination\_size\;} +\KwOut{NewNb: array containing random numbers in global memory} +\If{threadId is concerned} { + retrieve data from InternalVarXorLikeArray[threadId] in local variables including shared memory and x\; + offset = threadIdx\%combination\_size\; + o1 = threadIdx-offset+array\_comb1[offset]\; + o2 = threadIdx-offset+array\_comb2[offset]\; + \For{i=1 to n} { + t=xor-like()\; + t=t\textasciicircum shmem[o1]\textasciicircum shmem[o2]\; + shared\_mem[threadId]=t\; + x = x\textasciicircum t\; -\subsection{Study of the chaotic iterations described as a real function} + store the new PRNG in NewNb[NumThreads*threadId+i]\; + } + store internal variables in InternalVarXorLikeArray[threadId]\; +} +\end{small} +\caption{Main kernel for the chaotic iterations based PRNG GPU efficient +version\label{IR}} +\label{algo:gpu_kernel2} +\end{algorithm} +\subsection{Chaos 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 to $\mathds{B}^ \mathsf{N}$. +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 is the induction hypothesis), 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. -\begin{figure}[t] +\section{Experiments} +\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 PRNGs. 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 million, 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. + +\begin{figure}[htbp] \begin{center} - \subfigure[ICs on the interval $(0,9;1)$.]{\includegraphics[scale=.35]{ICs09a1.pdf}}\quad - \subfigure[ICs on the interval $(0,7;1)$.]{\includegraphics[scale=.35]{ICs07a95.pdf}}\\ - \subfigure[ICs on the interval $(0,5;1)$.]{\includegraphics[scale=.35]{ICs05a1.pdf}}\quad - \subfigure[ICs on the interval $(0;1)$]{\includegraphics[scale=.35]{ICs0a1.pdf}} + \includegraphics[width=\columnwidth]{curve_time_xorlike_gpu.pdf} \end{center} -\caption{Representation of the chaotic iterations.} -\label{fig:ICs} +\caption{Quantity of pseudorandom numbers generated per second with the xorlike-based PRNG} +\label{fig:time_xorlike_gpu} \end{figure} -\begin{figure}[t] -\begin{center} - \subfigure[ICs on the interval $(510;514)$.]{\includegraphics[scale=.35]{ICs510a514.pdf}}\quad - \subfigure[ICs on the interval $(1000;1008)$]{\includegraphics[scale=.35]{ICs1000a1008.pdf}} -\end{center} -\caption{ICs on small intervals.} -\label{fig:ICs2} -\end{figure} -\begin{figure}[t] +In Figure~\ref{fig:time_bbs_gpu} we highlight the performances of the optimized +BBS-based PRNG on GPU.

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: -\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} -\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 $x$: -\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} +\section{Security Analysis} -\subsection{Comparison of the two metrics on $\big[ 0, 2^\mathsf{N} \big[$} +This section is dedicated to the security analysis of the + proposed PRNGs.%, both from a theoretical and from a practical point of view. -The two propositions bellow allow to compare our two distances on $\big[ 0, 2^\mathsf{N} \big[$: +%\subsection{Theoretical Proof of Security} +\label{sec:security analysis} -\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: -\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. -\end{itemize} - -The sequential characterization of the continuity concludes the demonstration. -\end{proof} +The standard definition + of {\it indistinguishability} used here 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 Annex~\ref{A-sec:Practicak evaluation}. +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 $s$ 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. +\begin{definition} +A cryptographic PRNG $G$ is secure if for any probabilistic polynomial time +algorithm $D$, for any positive polynomial $p$, and for all sufficiently +large $m$'s, +$$| \mathrm{Pr}[D(G(U_m))=1]-Pr[D(U_{\ell_G(m)})=1]|< \frac{1}{p(m)},$$ +where $U_r$ is the uniform distribution over $\{0,1\}^r$ and the +probabilities are taken over $U_m$, $U_{\ell_G(m)}$ as well as over the +internal coin tosses of $D$. +\end{definition} -A contrario: +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. An equivalent formulation of this well-known security property +means that it is possible \emph{in practice} to predict the next bit of the +generator, knowing all the previously produced ones. 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}. + +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 +$(x_0\oplus S_0 \oplus S_1)(x_0\oplus S_0 \oplus S_1\oplus S_2)\ldots +(x_o\bigoplus_{i=0}^{i=k}S_i)$. One in particular 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} -Id: $\left(~\big[ 0, 2^\mathsf{N} \big[,D~\right) \to \left(~\big[ 0, 2^\mathsf{N} \big[, \Delta ~\right)$ is a continuous fonction. +\label{cryptopreuve} +If $H$ is a secure cryptographic PRNG, then $X$ is a secure cryptographic +PRNG too. \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: +The proposition is proven 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} +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 +$\mathrm{Pr}[D^\prime(U_{kN})=1]=\mathrm{Pr}[D(\varphi_y(U_{kN}))=1]$ and, +therefore, +\begin{equation}\label{PCH-2} +\mathrm{Pr}[D^\prime(U_{kN})=1]=\mathrm{Pr}[D(U_{kN})=1]. +\end{equation} -\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} +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 $y$ is randomly generated.

We can deduce that they are chaotic on $\mathds{R}$ too, when considering the order topology, because: +%% Pseudorandom generators based on Eq.~\eqref{equation Oplus} are thus cryptographically secure when +%% they are XORed with an already cryptographically +%% secure PRNG.

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 + +%% \begin{flushleft} +%% $\left| Pr[\mathcal{D}(G(k)) = 1 \mid k \in_R \{0,1\}^\ell ]\right.$ +%% \end{flushleft} + +%% \begin{flushright} +%% $ - \left.

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 Shub 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 known to be +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 lesser than $2^{32}$, and thus the number $M$ must be +lesser 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 +$log_2(log_2(M))$). In other words, to generate a 32-bits number, we need to use +8 times the BBS algorithm with possibly different combinations of $M$. This +approach is not sufficient to be able to pass all the tests of TestU01, +as small values of $M$ for the BBS lead to + small periods. So, in order to add randomness we have proceeded with +the followings modifications. \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 $\mathds{R}$. +\item +Firstly, we define 16 arrangement arrays instead of 2 (as described in +Algorithm \ref{algo:gpu_kernel2}), but only 2 of them are used at each call of +the PRNG kernels. In practice, the selection of combination +arrays to be used is different for all the threads. It 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 \& is for the bitwise AND. Thus using \&7 with a number +gives the last 3 bits, thus providing a number between 0 and 7. +\item +Secondly, after the generation of the 8 BBS numbers for each thread, we +have a 32-bits number whose period is possibly quite small. So +to add randomness, we generate 4 more BBS numbers to +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 +3 bits. The last 3 bits of the second new BBS number are added 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 storage 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 stored in place 3, ..., and finally, internal +variable for BBS number 8 is stored in place 1. \end{itemize} -This result can be formulated as follows. - -\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} - -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{Efficient prng based on chaotic iterations} - -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.

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]. - -\section{Efficient prng based on chaotic iterations on GPU} - -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. 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. - \begin{algorithm} +\begin{small} +\KwIn{InternalVarBBSArray: array with internal variables of the 8 BBS +in global memory\; +NumThreads: Number of threads\; +array\_comb: 2D Arrays containing 16 combinations (in first dimension) of size combination\_size (in second dimension)\; +array\_shift[4]=\{0,1,3,7\}\; +} -\KwIn{InternalVarXorLikeArray: array with internal variables of the 3 xor-like PRNGs in global memory\; -NumThreads: Number of threads\;} \KwOut{NewNb: array containing random numbers in global memory} \If{threadId is concerned} { - retrieve data from InternalVarXorLikeArray[threadId] in local variables\; + retrieve data from InternalVarBBSArray[threadId] in local variables including shared memory and x\; + we consider that bbs1 ... bbs8 represent the internal states of the 8 BBS numbers\; + offset = threadIdx\%combination\_size\; + o1 = threadIdx-offset+array\_comb[bbs1\&7][offset]\; + o2 = threadIdx-offset+array\_comb[8+bbs2\&7][offset]\; \For{i=1 to n} { - compute a new PRNG as in Listing\ref{algo:seqCIprng}\; + t$<<$=4\; + t|=BBS1(bbs1)\&15\; + ...\; + t$<<$=4\; + t|=BBS8(bbs8)\&15\; + \tcp{two new shifts} + shift=BBS3(bbs3)\&3\; + t$<<$=shift\; + t|=BBS1(bbs1)\&array\_shift[shift]\; + shift=BBS7(bbs7)\&3\; + t$<<$=shift\; + t|=BBS2(bbs2)\&array\_shift[shift]\; + t=t\textasciicircum shmem[o1]\textasciicircum shmem[o2]\; + shared\_mem[threadId]=t\; + x = x\textasciicircum t\; + store the new PRNG in NewNb[NumThreads*threadId+i]\; } - store internal variables in InternalVarXorLikeArray[threadId]\; + store internal variables in InternalVarXorLikeArray[threadId] using a rotation\; } - -\caption{main kernel for the chaotic iterations based PRNG GPU version} -\label{algo:gpu_kernel} +\end{small} +\caption{main kernel for the BBS based PRNG GPU} +\label{algo:bbs_gpu} \end{algorithm} -According to the available memory in the GPU and the number of threads used -simultenaously, the number of random numbers that a thread can generate inside a -kernel is limited, i.e. the variable \texttt{n} in -algorithm~\ref{algo:gpu_kernel}. For example, if $100,000$ threads are used and -if $n=100$\footnote{in fact, we need to add the initial seed (a 32-bits number)} -then the memory required to store internals variables of xor-like -PRNGs\footnote{we multiply this number by $2$ in order to count 32-bits numbers} -and random number of our PRNG is equals to $100,000\times ((4+5+6)\times -2+(1+100))=1,310,000$ 32-bits numbers, i.e. about $52$Mb. +In Algorithm~\ref{algo:bbs_gpu}, $n$ is for the quantity of random numbers that +a thread has to generate. The operation t<<=4 performs a left shift of 4 bits +on the variable $t$ and stores the result in $t$, and $BBS1(bbs1)\&15$ selects +the last four bits of the result of $BBS1$. Thus an operation of the form +$t<<=4; t|=BBS1(bbs1)\&15\;$ realizes in $t$ a left shift of 4 bits, and then +puts the 4 last bits of $BBS1(bbs1)$ in the four last positions of $t$. Let us +remark that the initialization $t$ is not a necessity as we fill it 4 bits by 4 +bits, until having obtained 32-bits. The two last new shifts are realized in +order to enlarge the small periods of the BBS used here, to introduce a kind of +variability. In these operations, we make twice a left shift of $t$ of \emph{at + most} 3 bits, represented by \texttt{shift} in the algorithm, and we put +\emph{exactly} the \texttt{shift} last bits from a BBS into the \texttt{shift} +last bits of $t$. For this, an array named \texttt{array\_shift}, containing the +correspondence between the shift and the number obtained with \texttt{shift} 1 +to make the \texttt{and} operation is used. For example, with a left shift of 0, +we make an and operation with 0, with a left shift of 3, we make an and +operation with 7 (represented by 111 in binary mode). + +It should be noticed that this generator has once more the form $x^{n+1} = x^n \oplus S^n$, +where $S^n$ is referred in this algorithm as $t$: each iteration of this +PRNG ends with $x = x \wedge t$. This $S^n$ is only constituted +by secure bits produced by the BBS generator, and thus, due to +Proposition~\ref{cryptopreuve}, the resulted PRNG is +cryptographically secure. + +As stated before, even if the proposed PRNG is cryptocaphically +secure, it does not mean that such a generator +can be used as described here when attacks are +awaited. The problem is to determine the minimum +time required for an attacker, with a given +computational power, to predict under a probability +lower than 0.5 the $n+1$th bit, knowing the $n$ +previous ones. The proposed GPU generator will be +useful in a security context, at least in some +situations where a secret protected by a pseudorandom +keystream is rapidly obsolete, if this time to +predict the next bit is large enough when compared +to both the generation and transmission times. +It is true that the prime numbers used in the last +section are very small compared to up-to-date +security recommendations. However the attacker has not +access to each BBS, but to the output produced +by Algorithm~\ref{algo:bbs_gpu}, which is far +more complicated than a simple BBS. Indeed, to +determine if this cryptographically secure PRNG +on GPU can be useful in security context with the +proposed parameters, or if it is only a very fast +and statistically perfect generator on GPU, its +$(T,\varepsilon)-$security must be determined, and +a formulation similar to Annex~\ref{A-sec:Practicak evaluation} %.Eq.\eqref{mesureConcrete} +must be established. Authors +hope to achieve this difficult task in a future +work. + + +\subsection{Toward a Cryptographically Secure and Chaotic Asymmetric Cryptosystem} +\label{Blum-Goldwasser} +We finish this research work by giving some thoughts about the use of +the proposed PRNG in an asymmetric cryptosystem. +This first approach will be further investigated in a future work. + +\subsubsection{Recalls of the Blum-Goldwasser Probabilistic Cryptosystem} + +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. + +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 $(p,q)$. + + +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 $i=0$. +\item While $i \leqslant L-1$: +\begin{itemize} +\item Set $b_i$ equal to the least-significant\footnote{As signaled previously, 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} +\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} -All the tests performed to pass the BigCrush of TestU01 succeeded. Different -number of threads have been tested upto $10$ millions. -\section{Experiments} +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 finally computes the plaintext by XORing the keystream with the ciphertext: $ m = c \oplus b$. +\end{enumerate} -Differents experiments have been performed in order to measure the generation speed. +\subsubsection{Proposal of a new Asymmetric Cryptosystem Adapted from Blum-Goldwasser} -First of all we have compared the time to generate X random numbers with both the CPU version and the GPU version. +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 $(S^0, N)$. -Faire une courbe du nombre de random en fonction du nombre de threads, éventuellement en fonction du nombres de threads par bloc. +To encrypt his message, Bob will compute +%%RAPH : ici, j'ai mis un simple $ +%\begin{equation} +$c = \left(m_0 \oplus (b_0 \oplus S^0), m_1 \oplus (b_0 \oplus b_1 \oplus S^0), \hdots, \right.$ +$ \left. m_{L-1} \oplus (b_0 \oplus b_1 \hdots \oplus b_{L-1} \oplus S^0) \right)$ +%%\end{equation} +instead of $\left(m_0 \oplus b_0, m_1 \oplus b_1, \hdots, m_{L-1} \oplus b_{L-1} \right)$. +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 obtain 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. \section{Conclusion} -\bibliographystyle{plain} + + +In this paper, a formerly proposed PRNG based on chaotic iterations +has been generalized to improve its speed. It has been proven to be +chaotic according to Devaney. +Efficient implementations on GPU using xor-like PRNGs as input generators +have shown that a very large quantity of pseudorandom numbers can be generated per second (about +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. +An improvement of the Blum-Goldwasser cryptosystem, making it +behave chaotically, has finally been proposed. + +In future work we plan to extend this research, building a parallel PRNG for clusters or +grid computing. Topological properties of the various proposed generators will be investigated, +and the use of other categories of PRNGs as input will be studied too. The improvement +of Blum-Goldwasser will be deepened. Finally, we +will try to enlarge the quantity of pseudorandom numbers generated per second either +in a simulation context or in a cryptographic one. + + + +\bibliographystyle{plain} \bibliography{mabase} \end{document}
