Download or read book True Random Number Generators for Cryptography written by Oto Petura and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Random numbers are essential for modern cryptographic systems. They are used as cryptographic keys, nonces, initialization vectors and random masks for protection against side channel attacks. In this thesis, we deal with random number generators in logic devices (Field Programmable Gate Arrays - FPGAs and Application Specific Integrated Circuits - ASICs). We present fundamental methods of generation of random numbers in logic devices. Then, we discuss different types of TRNGs using clock jitter as a source of randomness. We provide a rigorous evaluation of various AIS-20/31 compliant TRNG cores implemented in three different FPGA families : Intel Cyclone V, Xilinx Spartan-6 and Microsemi SmartFusion2. We then present the implementation of selected TRNG cores in custom ASIC and we evaluate them. Next, we study PLL-TRNG in depth in order to provide a secure design of this TRNG together with embedded tests. Finally, we study oscillator based TRNGs. We compare different randomness extraction methods as well as different oscillator types and the behavior of the clock jitter inside each of them. We also propose methods of embedded jitter measurement for online testing of oscillator based TRNGs.

Download or read book A Million Random Digits with 100 000 Normal Deviates written by and published by Minnesota Historical Society. This book was released on 2001 with total page 636 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Not long after research began at RAND in 1946, the need arose for random numbers that could be used to solve problems of various kinds of experimental probability procedures. These applications, called Monte Carlo methods, required a large supply of random digits and normal deviates of high quality, and the tables presented here were produced to meet those requirements.This book was a product of RAND's pioneering work in computing, as well a testament to the patience and persistence of researchers in the early days of RAND. The tables of random numbers in this book have become a standard reference in engineering and econometrics textbooks and have been widely used in gaming and simulations that employ Monte Carlo trials. Still the largest published source of random digits and normal deviates, the work is routinely used by statisticians, physicists, polltakers, market analysts, lottery administrators, and quality control engineers. A 2001 article in the New York Times on the value of randomness featured the original edition of the book, published in 1955 by the Free Press. The rights have since reverted to RAND, and in this digital age, we thought it appropriate to reissue a new edition of the book in its original format, with a new foreword by Michael D. Rich, RAND's Executive Vice President

Download or read book Cryptography Apocalypse written by Roger A. Grimes and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2019-11-12 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Will your organization be protected the day a quantum computer breaks encryption on the internet? Computer encryption is vital for protecting users, data, and infrastructure in the digital age. Using traditional computing, even common desktop encryption could take decades for specialized ‘crackers’ to break and government and infrastructure-grade encryption would take billions of times longer. In light of these facts, it may seem that today’s computer cryptography is a rock-solid way to safeguard everything from online passwords to the backbone of the entire internet. Unfortunately, many current cryptographic methods will soon be obsolete. In 2016, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) predicted that quantum computers will soon be able to break the most popular forms of public key cryptography. The encryption technologies we rely on every day—HTTPS, TLS, WiFi protection, VPNs, cryptocurrencies, PKI, digital certificates, smartcards, and most two-factor authentication—will be virtually useless. . . unless you prepare. Cryptography Apocalypse is a crucial resource for every IT and InfoSec professional for preparing for the coming quantum-computing revolution. Post-quantum crypto algorithms are already a reality, but implementation will take significant time and computing power. This practical guide helps IT leaders and implementers make the appropriate decisions today to meet the challenges of tomorrow. This important book: Gives a simple quantum mechanics primer Explains how quantum computing will break current cryptography Offers practical advice for preparing for a post-quantum world Presents the latest information on new cryptographic methods Describes the appropriate steps leaders must take to implement existing solutions to guard against quantum-computer security threats Cryptography Apocalypse: Preparing for the Day When Quantum Computing Breaks Today's Crypto is a must-have guide for anyone in the InfoSec world who needs to know if their security is ready for the day crypto break and how to fix it.

Download or read book Design and Analysis of Digital True Random Number Generator written by Avantika Yadav and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Random number generator is a key component for strengthening and securing the confidentiality of electronic communications. Random number generators can be divided as either pseudo random number generators or true random number generators. A pseudo random number generator produces a stream of numbers that appears to be random but actually follow predefined sequence. A true random number generator produces a stream of unpredictable numbers that have no defined pattern. There has been growing interest to design true random number generator in past few years. Several Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) and Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) based approaches have been used to generate random data that requires analog circuit. RNGs having analog circuits demand for more power and area. These factors weaken hardware analog circuit-based RNG systems relative to hardware completely digital-based RNGs systems. This thesis is focused on the design of completely digital true random number generator ASIC.
