chaos-rng 0.1.2

Chaos-based random number generator using three-body dynamics

Chaos RNG

Chaos RNG is a Python library for generating random numbers from chaotic three-body dynamics, with NumPy-compatible generators and optional cryptographic post-processing utilities.

This project is currently documented README-first for the 0.1.x releases.

Installation

Core package:

pip install chaos-rng

With optional crypto and test utilities:

pip install "chaos-rng[crypto,test]"

Quick Start

from chaos_rng import ThreeBodyRNG

rng = ThreeBodyRNG(seed=42)

print(rng.random(5))            # floats in [0, 1)
print(rng.randint(0, 10, 5))    # integers
print(rng.bytes(16).hex())      # raw bytes

Notes:

• First calls may be slower because numerical kernels warm up (Numba/JIT).
• Use a fixed seed for reproducible tests and experiments.

NumPy Integration

from chaos_rng.generators import create_chaos_generator

gen = create_chaos_generator(seed=42)

normal = gen.normal(size=1000)
uniform = gen.uniform(0, 10, size=100)
integers = gen.integers(0, 100, size=50)

Optional Crypto Utilities

The crypto extra provides helper utilities for secure seeding and post-processing. These tools are useful for experimentation and integration, but this project should not be treated as a drop-in replacement for a security-audited cryptographic RNG.

from chaos_rng import ThreeBodyRNG
from chaos_rng.security import CryptoPostProcessor, SecureSeed

seed = SecureSeed().generate_seed()
rng = ThreeBodyRNG(seed=seed)

raw = rng.bytes(64)
processed = CryptoPostProcessor(method="hash").process(raw)

print(len(processed))

Validation Utilities (Optional / Expensive)

Validation helpers are included under chaos_rng.utils.validation. They can be computationally expensive and are best used for offline analysis.

from chaos_rng import ThreeBodyRNG
from chaos_rng.utils.validation import EntropyValidator

rng = ThreeBodyRNG(seed=42)
bits = (rng.random(10000) * 2).astype(int)

validator = EntropyValidator()
result = validator.validate_entropy_rate(bits)
print(result)

NISTTestSuite and ContinuousValidator are also available, but they are not part of the default CI gate in 0.1.2.

Performance and Caveats

• This library prioritizes clarity and reproducibility over minimal dependency footprint (numpy, scipy, numba).
• Some operations are expensive for large sample sizes.
• Cryptographic helpers are optional and not a substitute for audited crypto libraries or formal security review.
