Pseudorandom Number Generation (PRNG)
The PRNG IP core establishes a benchmark for hardware-based security in cryptographic systems by generating high-quality pseudorandom numbers.
Xiphera’s Pseudorandom Number Generator (PRNG) IP core establishes a benchmark for hardware-based security in cryptographic systems by generating high-quality pseudorandom numbers. It delivers accelerated output rates essential for secure communications and cryptographic operations, such as key generation. It includes robust and thoroughly characterised initialisation and reseeding mechanisms and a proven CTR_DRBG and AES-256 based pseudorandom number generator.
The PRNG IP core conforms to the stringent NIST requirements while offering flexibility and broad compatibility for both FPGA and ASIC designs.

High-entropy, true randomness with TRNG
Xiphera’s PRNG IP cores are periodically re-seeded with fresh randomness from a full entropy source, such as Xiphera’s True Random Number Generator (TRNG) IP core. The TRNG IP core generates high-entropy, true random numbers for secure communications and cryptographic operations.
