“…The resulting map presents more complex chaos related phenomena compared to the classic map as mentioned above, as well as achieves a higher value for its Lyapunov exponent. Furthermore, to showcase the applicability of the map to chaos related applications, the problems of pseudo random bit generation [ 4 , 5 , 10 , 11 , 13 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 , 39 , 40 , 41 , 42 , 43 ] and image encryption [ 4 , 7 , 9 , 14 , 15 , 33 , 35 , 39 , 44 , 45 , 46 , 47 , 48 ] are considered. It is seen that the bit sequence generated from the modified map using a simple rule passes all 15 tests of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) statistical test suite [ 49 ].…”
