In a previous work (S. Fiori, 2006), we proposed a random number generator based on a tunable non-linear neural system, whose learning rule is designed on the basis of a cardinal equation from statistics and whose implementation is based on look-up tables (LUTs). The aim of the present manuscript is to improve the above-mentioned random number generation method by changing the learning principle, while retaining the efficient LUT-based implementation. The new method proposed here proves easier to implement and relaxes some previous limitations.

Random numbers are widely employed in cryptography and security applications. If the generation process is weak, the whole chain of security can be compromised: these weaknesses could be exploited by an attacker to retrieve the information, breaking even the most robust implementation of a cipher. Due to their intrinsic close relationship with analogue parameters of the circuit, True Random Number Generators are usually tailored on specific silicon technology and are not easily scalable on programmable hardware, without affecting their entropy. On the other hand, programmable hardware and programmable System on Chip are gaining large adoption rate, also in security critical application, where high quality random number generation is mandatory. The work presented herein describes the design and the validation of a digital True Random Number Generator for cryptographically secure applications on Field Programmable Gate Array. After a preliminary study of literature and standards specifying requirements for random number generation, the design flow is illustrated, from specifications definition to the synthesis phase. Several solutions have been studied to assess their performances on a Field Programmable Gate Array device, with the aim to select the highest performance architecture. The proposed designs have been tested and validated, employing official test suites released by NIST standardization body, assessing the independence from the place and route and the randomness degree of the generated output. An architecture derived from the Fibonacci-Galois Ring Oscillator has been selected and synthesized on Intel Stratix IV, supporting throughput up to 400 Mbps. The achieved entropy in the best configuration is greater than 0.995.

Pseudo Random Number Generator

This paper investigates the potentiality of pseudo-random number generation of a 3-neighborhood 3-state cellular automaton (CA) under periodic boundary condition. Theoretical and empirical tests are performed on the numbers, generated by the CA, to observe the quality of it as pseudo-random number generator (PRNG). We analyze the strength and weakness of the proposed PRNG and conclude that the selected CA is a good random number generator.

Window Functions

<span>Cryptographic applications require numbers that are random and pseudorandom. Keys must be produced in a random manner in order to be used in common cryptosystems. Random or pseudorandom inputs at different terminals are also required in a lot of cryptographic protocols. For example, producing digital signatures using supporting quantities or in verification procedures that requires generating challenges. Random number generation is an important part of cryptography because there are flaws in random number generation that can be taken advantage by attackers that compromised encryption systems that are algorithmically secure. True random number generators (TRNGs) are the best in producing random numbers. This paper presents a True Random Number Generator that uses memristor based ring oscillators in the design. The designs are implemented in 0.18 µm complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technology using LT SPICE IV. Different window functions for the memristor model was applied to the TRNG and compared. Statistical tests results of the output random numbers produced showed that the proposed TRNG design can produce random output regardless of the window function.</span>

Abstract The intrinsic stochasticity of the memristor can be used to generate true random numbers, essential for non-decryptable hardware-based security devices. Here we propose a novel and advanced method to generate true random numbers utilizing the stochastic oscillation behavior of a NbOx mott memristor, exhibiting self-clocking, fast and variation tolerant characteristics. The random number generation rate of the device can be at least 40 kbs-1, which is the fastest record compared with previous volatile memristor-based TRNG devices. Also, its dimensionless operating principle provides high tolerance against both ambient temperature variation and device-to-device variation, enabling robust security hardware applicable in harsh environments.

The Look

—Field-programmable gate array (FPGA) optimized random number generators (RNGs) are more resource-efficient than software-optimized RNGs because they can take advantage of bitwise operations and FPGA-specific features. A random number generator (RNG) is a computational or physical device designed to generate a sequence of numbers or symbols that lack any pattern, i.e. appear random. The many applications of randomness have led to the development of several different methods for generating random data. Several computational methods for random number generation exist, but often fall short of the goal of true randomness though they may meet, with varying success, some of the statistical tests for randomness intended to measure how unpredictable their results are (that is, to what degree their patterns are discernible).LUT-SR Family of Uniform Random Number Generators are able to handle randomness only based on seeds that is loaded in the look up table. To make random generation efficient, we propose new approach based on SRAM storage device.Keywords: RNG, LFSR, SRAM

In the context of growing the adoption of advanced sensors and systems for active vehicle safety and driver assistance, an increasingly important issue is the security of the information exchanged between the different sub-systems of the vehicle. Random number generation is crucial in modern encryption and security applications as it is a critical task from the point of view of the robustness of the security chain. Random numbers are in fact used to generate the encryption keys to be used for ciphers. Consequently, any weakness in the key generation process can potentially leak information that can be used to breach even the strongest cipher. This paper presents the architecture of a high performance Random Number Generator (RNG) IP-core, in particular a Cryptographically Secure Pseudo-Random Number Generator (CSPRNG) IP-core, a digital hardware accelerator for random numbers generation which can be employed for cryptographically secure applications. The specifications used to develop the proposed project were derived from dedicated literature and standards. Subsequently, specific architecture optimizations were studied to achieve better timing performance and very high throughput values. The IP-core has been validated thanks to the official NIST Statistical Test Suite, in order to evaluate the degree of randomness of the numbers generated in output. Finally the CSPRNG IP-core has been characterized on relevant Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) and ASIC standard-cell technologies.

Number Generation

Generation of random numbers is one of the most important steps in cryptographic algorithms. High endurance, high performance and low energy consumption are the attractive features offered by the Magnetic Tunnel Junction (MTJ) devices. Therefore, they have been considered as one of the promising candidates for next-generation digital integrated circuits. In this paper, a new circuit design for true random number generation using MTJs is proposed. Our proposed circuit offers a high speed, low power and a truly random number generation. In our design, we employed two MTJs that are configured in special states. Generated random bit at the output of the proposed circuit is returned to the write circuit to be written in the relevant cell for the next random generation. In a random bitstream, all bits must have the same chance of being “0”or “1”. We have proposed a new XOR-based method in this paper to resolve this issue in multiple random generators that produce truly random numbers with a different number of ones and zeros in the output stream. The simulation results using a 45[Formula: see text]nm CMOS technology with a special model of MTJ validated the advantages offered by the proposed circuit.

Multifractal Behavior

Random number generators are used in areas such as encryption and system modeling, where some of these exhibit fractal behaviors. For this reason, it is interesting to make use of the memristor characteristics for the random number generation. Accordingly, the objective of this article is to evaluate the performance of a chaotic memristive system as a random number generator with fractal behavior and long-range dependence. To achieve the above, modeling memristor and its corresponding chaotic systems is performed, from which a random number generator is constructed. Subsequently, the Hurst parameter for the detection of long-range dependence is estimated and a fractal analysis of the synthesized data is performed. Finally, a comparison between the model proposed in the research and the β-MWM algorithm is made. The results obtained show that the data synthesized from the proposed generator have a variable Hurst parameter and both monofractal and multifractal behavior. The main contribution of this research is the proposal of a new model for the synthesis of traces with long-range dependence and fractal behavior based on the non-linearity of the memristor.
