How to calculate transition matrix for linear pseudo-random number generator manipulating its internal state
This article describes a method to determine the transition matrix of linear pseudo-random number generator without prior detailed knowledge of its algorithm. The only information needed is: state vector dimensionality, nature of its components and a single-step procedure used as a black box to transform one state to another.
