Abstract:True Random Number Generators (TRNGs) are sensitive Intellectual Property (IP) blocks involved in the creation of cryptographic keys, initialization vectors, nonces, etc. They must behave properly within a large environmental spectrum, including multiple corners, in case of aging-induced change of device characteristics over time, and also under intentional attacks aiming at lowering the TRNGs entropy.In this paper, we review normative and technical landscapes in this respect, and propose a pre-silicon verific… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
