“…The distinct properties of chaos, such as diffusion and confusion can, in principle, ensure pseudo-random numbers of high-quality, mainly because of the sensitivity to initial conditions, ergodicity, mixing properties, complex numerical patterns, relatively simple equations and their determinism [3,5,39,28]. Therefore, significant progress has been reported, for instance chaos-based PRNGs were proposed using chaotic systems [35,10,7,33,19,34,13,38], cellular automata [47,25,46], quantum chaotic maps [1,2,53] and even mixing the physical chaotic sources, e.g. chaotic semiconductor lasers [48,21].…”
