Simple chain automaton random number generator for IoT devices

Abstract Random numbers are very important in many fields of computer science. Generating high-quality random using only basic arithmetic operations is challenging, especially for devices with limited hardware capabilities, such as Internet Things (IoT) devices. In this paper, we present a novel pseudorandom number generator, the simple chain automaton generator (SCARNG), based on compositions abstract automata. The main advantage presented algorithm its structure that can be implemented easily low computing capacity IoT systems, FPGAs or GPU hardware. generated demonstrate promising statistical behavior and satisfy NIST suite requirements, highlighting potential SCARNG practical applications.
