True Random and Pseudorandom Number Generator
The true random generator core implements true random number generation.
Overview
The true random generator core implements true random number generation. The core passes the American NIST Special Publication 800-22 and Diehard Random Tests Suites. It is compliant with FIPS 140-2 Annex C.
Basic core is very small (8,000 gates) and contains the random seed source and a PRNG1 cryptographically secure pseudo-random generator core.
The design is fully synchronous, with the exception of the seed part, and available in both source and netlist form.
The core is supplied as portable Verilog (VHDL version available) thus allowing customers to carry out an internal code review to ensure its security.
Key features
- Satisfies Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) Publication 140-2 Annex C (“approved” random number generator) from the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). Passes the requirements of the NIST SP 800-22.
- High security (128 bit entropy; 256 version available)
- Initial seed provided from internal entropy source
- Automatic re-seeding
- High data rate
- Completely self-contained: does not require external memory
- Available as fully functional and synthesizable Verilog.
- Deliverables include synthesis scripts

The Silent Guardian of AI Compute - PUFrt Unifies Hardware Security and Memory Repair to Build the Trust Foundation for AI Factories
At the scale of the Vera Rubin platform, yield, calibration, and security failures compound across tens of thousands of devices. A single unified hardware anchor at the silicon level is not optional, it is architectural necessity. A physical unclonable function-based hardware root-of-trust, PUFrt, jointly developed by eMemory and PUFsecurity, was designed precisely for this role: a fully integrated implementation of the Caliptra 2.0 open standard that simultaneously manages cross-die memory repair and hardware root of trust across the full platform.
A Comprehensive Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) Solution based on Physical Unclonable Function (PUF)
This article provides an in-depth analysis of the specific PPA challenges introduced by PQC and elucidates how PUF-PQC leverages its unique dualtrack strategy to deliver a robust and flexible Hardware Root of Trust (HRoT) across diverse application scenarios. Furthermore, it demonstrates the integration of Physical Unclonable Function (PUF) with a NIST SP 800-90B compliant True Random Number Generator (TRNG) to serve as critical components of PUFrt (Root of Trust), ensuring the security of post-quantum key generation starting from the entropy source.
X100 - Securing the System - RISC-V AI at the Edge
For years, SiFive has been delivering a range of security capabilities that are optimized for deployment throughout the system, tightly coupled to products from its broad portfolio of processors. Building on the prior blogs that centered on performance and effective coupling of accelerators, I wanted to focus this blog on security and its role in the growing popularity of the SiFive Intelligence X100 product family.
Tailoring Root Of Trust Security Capabilities To Specific Customer Needs
A Root of Trust is the foundation on which all secure operations of a computing system depend. It contains the keys used for cryptographic functions and enables a system-wide secure boot process. It is inherently trusted and therefore must be secure by design.
