Dynamical degradation occurs when chaotic systems are implemented on digital devices, which seriously threatens the security of chaos-based cryptosystems. The existing solutions mainly focus on the compensation of dynamical properties rather than on the elimination of the inherent biases of chaotic systems. In this paper, a unidirectional hybrid control method is proposed to improve the dynamical properties and to eliminate the biases of digital chaotic maps. A continuous chaotic system is introduced to provide external feedback control of the given digital chaotic map. Three different control modes are investigated, and the influence of control parameter on the properties of the controlled system is discussed. The experimental results show that the proposed method can not only improve the dynamical degradation of the digital chaotic map but also make the controlled digital system produce outputs with desirable performances. Finally, a pseudorandom number generator (PRNG) is proposed. Statistical analysis shows that the PRNG has good randomness and almost ideal entropy values.
