A random-walk pseudorandom byte generator

A pseudorandom byte generator is constructed that employs a random walk on a 256×256 lattice of bytes that is in turn constructed from the permutations of all bytes. The generator is easily implemented, passes important empirical tests, and provides an alternative to commonly employed generators.
