<p>In a finite state machine having a plurality of registers, a stream of pseudo-random numbers is generated by a method having characteristic non-zero integral value N. Repeatedly, over a series of time steps, a set of N combined values is calculated by applying N non-linear combining functions to N input sets of values and registering each combined value in one of N registers. At any time step after N time steps each input set consists of combined values, except that one input set may include as one value the result of combining a combined value with a value from an input stream, and at least two input sets comprise only registered values from distinct registers.</p> |
