Title: A new generator of chaotic bit sequences with mixed-mode inputs,
Abstract: This paper presents a new generator of chaotic bit sequences with mixed-mode
(continuous and discrete) inputs. The generator has an improved level of
chaotic properties in comparison with the existing single source (input)
digital chaotic bit generators. The 0-1 test is used to show the improved
chaotic behavior of our generator having a chaotic continuous input (Chua,
Rössler or Lorenz system) intermingled with a discrete input (logistic,
Tinkerbell or Henon map) with various parameters. The obtained sequences of
chaotic bits show some features of random processes with increased entropy
levels, even in the cases of small numbers of bit representations. The
properties of the new generator and its binary sequences compare well with
those obtained from a truly random binary reference quantum generator, as
evidenced by the results of the $ent$ tests.
