Abstract

Multiple Matrix congruential generators is an important class of pseudorandom number generators. This paper studies the predictability of a class of truncated multiple matrix congruential generators with unknown parameters. Given a few truncated digits of high-order bits or low-order bits output by a multiple matrix congruential generator, we give a method based on lattice reduction to recover the parameters and the initial state of the generator.
