Title:
Approach for High-Performance Random Number Generators for Critical Systems

Authors: Pascal Hammer, Veronika Krause, Tobias Probst, Jürgen Mottok

Abstract:

In times of digitalization, the encryption and signing
of sensitive data is becoming increasingly important. These
cryptographic processes require large quantities of high-quality
random numbers. Which is why a high-performance random
number generator (RNG) is to be developed. For this purpose,
existing concepts of RNGs and application standards are first
analyzed. The proposed approach is to design a physical true
random number generator (PTRNG) with a high output of
random numbers. Based on this, the development begins with
the analog part of the RNG, the noise signal source and a
suitable amplifier for the analog noise signal. Therefore, a
special noise diode from Noisecom and an amplifier from NXP
were chosen and analyzed in different measurements. From
the results of the measurements, it can be concluded that both
components are suitable for use in the RNG.
