OK, thank you. >Keep an eye for this. The algorithm will be the same, but the >analysis and discussion should be improved, over the version >that is now posted on my web site... Okay. What did you think about this: >> This could probably be improved by changing SHUFFLE to: >> >> ⒈ local tmp1 = DRIP() >> ⒉ local tmp2 = DRIP() >> ⒊ local tmp3 = DRIP() >> ⒋ WHIP(2*N + tmp1) >> ⒌ tmp2 += DRIP() >> ⒍ tmp3 += DRIP() >> ⒎ CRUSH() >> ⒏ WHIP(2*N + tmp2) >> ⒐ tmp3 += DRIP() >> ⒑ CRUSH() >> ⒒ WHIP(2*N + tmp3) >> ⒓ a = 0 I think (intuition, not science; I’ve written down the idea basically as soon as I had it) that it should reduce loss of entropy in the state, which would benefit use of Spritz as RNG, and not harm use of it as hash and stream cipher other than a slight speed reduction. bye, //mirabilos -- I believe no one can invent an algorithm. One just happens to hit upon it when God enlightens him. Or only God invents algorithms, we merely copy them. If you don't believe in God, just consider God as Nature if you won't deny existence. -- Coywolf Qi Hunt
