Abstract
A pseudo-random number generator, and an associated method, generates a pseudo-random number. The pseudo-random number is a complex, linear combination of values of input sequences provided to the generator and exhibits little correlation with such input values. The generator includes a summation combiner and an IIR (infinite impulse response) filter connected in a feedback connection with the summation combiner. Because of the low correlation of the pseudo-random number and input values provided to the generator, the pseudo-random number is less susceptible to cryptanalysis by an unauthorized party.
