Heartbeats Do Not Make Good Pseudo-Random Number Generators: An Analysis of the Randomness of Inter-Pulse Intervals
The proliferation of wearable and implantable medical devices has given rise to an interest in developing security schemes suitable for these systems and the environment in which they operate. One area that has received much attention lately is the use of (human) biological signals as the basis for biometric authentication, identification and the generation of cryptographic keys. The heart sign...
متن کاملQuantifiers for randomness of chaotic pseudo-random number generators.
We deal with randomness quantifiers and concentrate on their ability to discern the hallmark of chaos in time series used in connection with pseudo-random number generators (PRNGs). Workers in the field are motivated to use chaotic maps for generating PRNGs because of the simplicity of their implementation. Although there exist very efficient general-purpose benchmarks for testing PRNGs, we fee...
متن کاملSecurity Analysis of Pseudo-Random Number Generators
A pseudo-random number generator (PRNG) is a deterministic algorithm that produces numbers whose distribution is indistinguishable from uniform. A formal security model for PRNGs with input was proposed in 2005 by Barak and Halevi (BH). This model involves an internal state that is refreshed with a (potentially biased) external random source, and a cryptographic function that outputs random num...
متن کاملPseudo-Random Number Generators
The first option here is not easy. Some pieces of data of this kind exist, for example from the decay of radioactive elements, but generally generation is slow and you cannot get the quantity of random numbers you require for modern applications. The second option here is what I’ll talk about today. Algorithms of this type are called “PseudoRandom Number Generators” (PRNGs). Many bad algorithms...
متن کاملTrue-Randomness and Pseudo-Randomness in Ring Oscillator-Based True Random Number Generators
The paper deals with true random number generators employing oscillator rings and namely with the one proposed by Sunar et al. in 2007 and enhanced by Wold and Tan in 2009. Our mathematical analysis shows that both architectures behave identically when composed of the same number of rings and ideal logic components. However, the reduction of the number of rings, as proposed by Wold and Tan, wou...
