Abstract

In this paper we revisit the problem of using Genetic Algorithms to evolve 2-dimensional Cellular Automata (CA) as Pseudo-random Number Generators (PRNG). Our main contribution is two-fold. First, we review the problem of using CAs as PRNGs under the scope of the newer and more demanding batteries of pseudo-random generator tests that have been developed since the introduction of DIEHARD [1]. Second, we introduce a composite fitness metric, that incorporates elements from PRNG tests, to be used in the evolution of the CAs. © 2012 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
