Generation of Pseudo-random Sequences of the Maximum Period Using Elliptic Curves Transformations

A promising direction for constructing cryptographically stable pseudo-random sequence generators is an application of transformations in a group of points of elliptic and hypereliptic curves. This will allow building evidence-stable crypto algorithms, the problem of finding the private key in which is associated with solving a theoretically complex elliptic curve discrete logarithm problem. This paper proposes a method for generating pseudo-random sequences of the maximal period using transformations on elliptic curves. This method consists in the application of recurrent transformations with sequential formation of elements of points group of elliptic curves. This allows providing the maximum period of pseudo-random sequences with the reduction of the problem of finding the private key to the solution of the theoretically complex elliptic curve discrete logarithm problem. The block diagram of the device for generating pseudo-random sequences and the scheme for generating the internal states of the generator are given. We also present the results of statistical testing of some generators, which show that the generated sequences are indistinguishable in a statistical sense from truly random ones.
