I don't know. Testing randomness is complicated matter.
How can I be sure that L’Ecuyer and Simard’s TestU01 suite tests things
that I personally care about and that it does not test things that are
of no interest for me? Especially, the latter.
Also, the TestU01 suit is made for generators with 32-bit output.
M. O’Neill used ad hoc technique to make it applicable to generators
with 64-bit output. Is this technique right? Or may be it put 64-bit
PRNG at unfair disadvantage?
Besides, I strongly disagree with at least one assertion made by
O’Neill: "While security-related applications should
use a secure generator, because we cannot always know the future
contexts in which our code will be used, it seems wise for all
applications to avoid generators that make discovering their entire
internal state completely trivial."
No, I know exactly what I am doing/ I know exactly that for my
application easy discovery of complete state of PRNG is not a defect.
Anyway, even if I am skeptical about her criticism of popular PRNGs,
intuitively I agree with the constructive part of the article -
medium-quality PRNG that feeds medium quality hash function can
potentially produce very good fast PRNG with rather small internal
state.
On related note, I think that even simple counter fed into high quality
hash function (not cryptographically high quality, far less than that)
can produce excellent PRNG with even smaller internal state. But not
very fast one. Although the speed depends on specifics of used
computer. I can imagine computer that has low-latency Rijndael128
instruction. On such computer, running counter through 3-4 rounds of
Rijndael ill produce very good PRNG that is only 2-3 times slower than,
for example, LCG 128/64.
