/* * Additive Lagged Fibonacci Generator (ALFG) Implementation * Author: Fabian Druschke * Date: 2024-03-13 * * This is an implementation of the Additive Lagged Fibonacci Generator (ALFG), * a pseudorandom number generator known for its simplicity and good statistical properties * for a wide range of applications. ALFGs are particularly noted for their long periods * and efficiency in generating sequences of random numbers. However, like many other PRNGs, * they are not suitable for cryptographic purposes due to their predictability. * * As the author of this implementation, I, Fabian Druschke, hereby release this work into * the public domain. I dedicate any and all copyright interest in this work to the public * domain, making it free to use for anyone for any purpose without any conditions, unless * such conditions are required by law. * * This software is provided "as is", without warranty of any kind, express or implied, * including but not limited to the warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular * purpose, and noninfringement. In no event shall the authors be liable for any claim, * damages, or other liability, whether in an action of contract, tort, or otherwise, arising * from, out of, or in connection with the software or the use or other dealings in the software. * * Note: This implementation is designed for non-cryptographic applications and should not be * used where cryptographic security is required. */ #include "add_lagg_fibonacci_prng.h" #include #include #define STATE_SIZE 64 // Size of the state array, sufficient for a high period #define LAG_BIG 55 // Large lag, e.g., 55 #define LAG_SMALL 24 // Small lag, e.g., 24 #define MODULUS ( 1ULL << 48 ) // Modulus for the operations, here 2^48 for simple handling void add_lagg_fibonacci_init( add_lagg_fibonacci_state_t* state, uint64_t init_key[], unsigned long key_length ) { // Simple initialization: Fill the state with the key values and then with a linear combination of them for( unsigned long i = 0; i < STATE_SIZE; i++ ) { if( i < key_length ) { state->s[i] = init_key[i]; } else { // Simple method to generate further state values.
