Random number generator based on transition effect ring oscillator

Abstract

The invention discloses a random number generator based on a transition effect ring oscillator. The random number generator consists of a random number core circuit which is used to generate an oscillation signal of unfixed time, and finally stabilizes at a fixed high level or low level; a control circuit which is used to generate resetting signals of the random number core circuit and a counter circuit; and a counter which enables the random number core circuit after the counter is reset, and is used for counting impulses generated by the random number core circuit. The invention has the advantages of a higher rate and a better anti-attack performance. The invention can be applied to all kinds of cryptosystems.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the fields of information security and integrated circuits, in particular to a random number generator based on a transition effect ring oscillator. Background technique [0002] As we all know, information security is becoming more and more important in contemporary society, and the core of information security is chips. With the rapid development of integrated circuit technology, chips are widely used in various industries. Security puts forward higher requirements, and the true random number generator is a key part of the security chip. [0003] There are usually two implementations of random number generators, pseudo-random number generators and true random number generators. Pseudo-random numbers are generally generated by digital sequential circuits. As long as a seed is given, the random numbers generated are usually long-period sequences, which can be predicted theoretically. The most common structure used in pseudora...
