Pseudo-random number generator based on a generalized conservative Sprott-A system

Pseudo-random number generator (PRNG) has been widely used in digital image encryption and secure communication. This paper reports a novel PRNG based on a generalized Sprott-A system that is conservative. To validate whether the system can produce high quality chaotic signals, we numerically investigate its conservative chaotic dynamics and the complexity based on the approximate entropy algorithm. In this PRNG, we first select an initial value...
