  Random Numbers Generation: Investigation of Physical Effects on FPGA

  Vladimir Rozic

 
Digital hardware true random number generators differ from the other designs for FPGA because their functionality is based on the analog and physical properties of the digital elements. In order to provide a proof of security for a hardware RNG certain assumptions on delay times, interlock effects and narrow transitions suppression have to be made. These assumptions can be experimentally verified. Our research is focused on measurements of these effects on the FPGA. On this presentation we explain methodology we used to perform these measurements and we present the results.
