Boolean-chaos-based physical random number generator by Qiqi ZHANG, Jianguo ZHANG, Pu LI, Yanqiang GUO, Yuncai WANG

“…A novel method for generating physical random numbers using Boolean-chaos as the entropy source was proposed.An autonomous Boolean network (ABN) without self-feedback was constructed by using two-input logic gates,and its dynamic characteristics were analyzed.Based on this,a 15-node ABN circuit was implemented to successfully generate Boolean-chaos with a bandwidth of ~680 MHz and a min-entropy around 1.By implementing the entropy source and the entropy extraction circuit on a single FPGA,the physical random number generation with a real-time rate of 100 Mbit/s was finally achieved.The NIST SP800-22 and DIEHARD randomness test results demonstrate that the obtained random sequences by the method successfully pass all tests.This indicates the random numbers has good random statistical characteristics.…”
