A novel pseudo random number generator based on L'Ecuyer's scheme

In this paper, we propose a new lightweight L'Ecuyer-based pseudo random number generator (PRNG). We show that our scheme, despite the very simple functions on which it relies on, is strongly secure in the sense that our number sequences pass the state-of-the-art randomness tests and, importantly, an accurate and deep security analysis shows that it is resistant to a number of attacks.
