ONE METHOD FOR GENERATING UNIFORM RANDOM NUMBERS VIA CIVIL AIR TRAFFIC

In this paper we have used data from publicly available database of civil aviation flights worldwide shown in real time. For research purposes we have developed software for collecting and filtering data, that have originated from variables determined in a particular time and space, that makes this dataset nonlinear. For the purpose of coding information source we have developed an algorithm for presenting data in bits based on which we encode received data and in that way we get binary sequences of sufficient length that present the basis for generating the cipher keys. We have exposed the obtained binary sequences to rigorous informational analysis, whose main purpose was to confirm the quality of the data according to NIST standards. After the analyses, we have confirmed the assumption that sequences obtained in this way can be used for cryptographic purposes, in the domain of generating a high entropy cipher keys.
