✦ Synopsis


Special finite binary sequences are tested for pseudorandomness. As measures of pseudorandomness, well-distribution relative to arithmetic progressions and small (auto)correlation are used. These properties of the Champernowne, Thue Morse, and Rudin Shapiro sequences are studied and it is shown that although each of them possesses certain pseudorandom properties, none of them can be considered completely pseudorandom. Finally, by using the Legendre symbol and permutation polynomials, a nearly ideally pseudorandom sequence is constructed.
