Hardware random numbers generator based on microcontroller

Abstract

The work considers the principles of development and organization of the random number generation system using a hardware generator of true random numbers. An analysis of noise sources for a hardware generator of true random numbers has been carried out. The architecture of the random and pseudo-random number generation system, the structure of the hardware part, and the interaction protocol of the system elements have been developed. Hardware and software of the system are implemented. An analysis of numbers sequences randomness degree obtained in different modes was carried out using a NIST statistical tests suite and visual tests. Recommendations for using the system are given.
