A C++ library implementing randomization, hashing, and statistical analysis algorithms based on the concept of chaos machines. It aims to replace obsolete tools like TestU01, Dieharder, and Hashdeep with a modern, modular approach to pseudo-randomness.

Use cases

• generate cryptographically-flavored password hashes with tunable cost parameters
• test the statistical quality of random number generators
• implement chaos machine based pseudo-random oracles
• benchmark and analyze hashing algorithms
• replace obsolete randomness testing tools like Dieharder or TestU01
• build custom PRNGs with configurable time, memory, and key parameters

When to choose

• you need a modern C++ library for hashing and randomness research
• you want tunable pseudo-random functions with execution time, memory, and secret key parameters
• you are studying or experimenting with chaos theory applied to cryptography
• you need statistical analysis of randomization algorithms

When to avoid

• you need a battle-tested, production-grade cryptographic library (use libsodium or OpenSSL instead)
• you need actively maintained software with recent releases
• you need a simple off-the-shelf RNG without research-oriented complexity
• your project is not in C++
