Summary

We present a new design for random number generation. The outputs of linear feedback shift registers (LFSRs) act as continuous inputs to the two boundaries of a one dimensional (1-D) cellular automata (CA). The results show superior randomness features and the output string has passed the Diehard statistical battery of tests. The design is good candidate for parallel random number generation, has strong correlation immunity and it is inherently amenable for VLSI implementation.
