True Random Number Generation (TRNG)
The TRNG IP core generates high-entropy, true random numbers essential for secure communications and cryptographic operations, such as key generation.
The True Random Number Generator (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 TRNG 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.
