True Random Number Generator (TRNG)

Overview

The TRNG IP core establishes a benchmark for hardware-based security in cryptographic systems, by generating high-entropy, true random numbers essential for secure communications and cryptographic operations, such as key generation. It includes a robust and thoroughly characterised entropy source, online health tests and a proven AES-CBC-MAC-based entropy extractor.

The IP core conforms to the stringent requirements of NIST standards and widely used test suites, while offering flexibility and broad compatibility for both FPGA and ASIC designs. It is an essential component of security protocols such as TLS 1.3 and MACsec.

The TRNG core integrates robust health monitoring systems to ensure the highest level of randomness and security under any operational conditions.

It includes advanced noise reduction techniques to optimise entropy quality, further strengthening against predictability and enhancing the system's cryptographic security.
