Abstract
A pseudorandom byte generator is constructed that employs a random walk on a 256 x 256 lattice of bytes that is in turn constructed from the permutati ons of all bytes. The generator is easily implemented, passes important emp irical tests, and provides an alternative to commonly employed generators. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Inc. All rights reserved.
