  Random number generation using a 256-state cellular automaton         


Author: oblivio_n
Date: Jan 15, 2007 06:37

Hi everyone,

I developed a 256-state cellular automaton that serves as a random
number generator. It's more than three times faster than the GNU
Scientific Library RNGs I tested (taus, gfsr4, mt19937, and ranlxd1)
and scores very well on the Diehard tests.

It's fast because the algorithm is basically an array lookup with
pointer value updates.

Alas, there is no proof about cycles or such, but the statistical
results so far are very good. Enjoy.

Code and results are here:

"nda" or "dna"? Do you have a link for that test?

  True Real Number Generator

Hi,
Does anyone think a geiger (radiation) based
real number generator would be of interest ?
We are developing a small battery powered
unit for a project and may market it to the public
if it is viable.

  Indium _ Real Random Number Generator

Hi Guys!

I'm new to your group so I thought I would drop you a note and Let you
know about
a new real random number generator I have written called Indium.

It is a real random number generator not a pseduo-random one. It was
written in C
and I have placed all 900+ C functions inot the public domain. As a
open source
project I used every major encryption algorithm, one way hash function
and hundreds
more that I could find into it. Because of it's size and complexity it
is very sloooow
but the numbers it generates should be about as good as you can get.

I have incorporated Indium into a equally large encryption program I
call Vegas Vault.

If your interested in checking out either program the web site address
is:

www.sincitysoftware.serverheaven.net

Both programs are open source and freeware. Enjoy!

  BBC links:Privacy Concerns over States/Corporations'Use of Personal Info

Hello,
The BBC news articles below address privacy concerns
over states' and corporations' use of personal data.
I think you will find the links useful.

Thanks,
Mashi

The basic summary is the following:
1. States collect personal info by various methods
(eg:CCTV/closed-circuit TV in roadways).
Corporations collect personal info by various means
(eg:credit card transactions...

  current favorite generator         


Author: Bob Jenkins

This C code snippet is my current favorite pseudorandom number
generator for statistical purposes:

typedef unsigned long int u4;
typedef struct randctx { u4 a; u4 b; u4 c; u4 d; } randctx;

u4 rand( randctx *x ) {
u4 e = x->a;
x->a = x->b;
x->b = (x->c<<19) + (x->c>>13) + x->d;
x->c = x->d ^ x->a;
x->d = e + x->b;
return x->c;
}

You really should try reading what I write before you delete it:
