Sumario:[EN] This study presents a novel approach to generating high-quality random numbers using a two-dimensional logistic map with a unit transfer function (2DLMUTF). The method is built upon the chaotic dynamics of the logistic map, where the parameter \documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$\:r$$\end{document} governs the system's behavior, exhibiting chaotic nature in the range of 3.57 to 4. By applying a unit transfer function and modulus operation, the system's output is constrained within the [0, 1] range, altering the phase space dynamics compared to traditional 2D logistic maps. Numerical simulations in MATLAB, with parameters \documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$\:{r}_{1}$$\end{document}=4, \documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$\:{r}_{2}$$\end{document}=3.8, and initial seed values \documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$\:{x}_{0}$$\end{document}=0.2350 and \documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$\:{y}_{0}$$\end{document}=0.3500, were run for \documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$\:{10}<^>{6}$$\end{document} iterations. Statistical testing using the NIST SP 800 - 22 test suite showed superior randomness, with the method passing all 15 tests. Additionally, uniformity, autocorrelation, cross-correlation, and entropy analyses confirmed the method's suitability for cryptographic applications. The generated random numbers were used to create substitution boxes (S-boxes) for image encryption, demonstrating strong encryption performance. Overall, 2DLMUTF offers a computationally efficient and secure solution for random number generation which is suitable for cryptographic and image encryption applications.
