Reliable TRNG and its Challenges

Raja Adhithan Radhakrishnan

Abstract

The objective of this work is to investigate methods for improving the self-tuning mechanism of ring oscillator (RO) based True Random Number Generators (TRNGs). It also examines the challenges involved in achieving a reliable and stable design over long-term operation. Furthermore, this work analyzes potential approaches to address these challenges and validates their effectiveness using the NIST statistical test suite.
