Method for seeding a pseudo-random number generator with a cryptographic hash of a digitization of a chaotic system

摘要

A method for generating a pseudo-random numbers Initially, the state of a chaotic system is digitized to form a binary string. This binary string is then hashed to produce a second binary string. It is this second binary string which is used to seed a pseudo-random number generator. The output from the pseudo-random number generator may be used in forming a password or cryptographic key for use in a security system.
