On the Security of Random Sources
نویسنده
چکیده
Many applications rely on the security of their random number generator. It is therefore essential that such devices be extensively tested for malfunction. The purpose of a statistical test is to detect specific weaknesses in random sources. Maurer’s universal test is a very common randomness test, capable of detecting a wide range of statistical defects. The test is based on the computation of a function which is asymptotically related to the source’s entropy, which measures the effective key-size of block ciphers keyed by the source’s output. In this work we develop a variant of Maurer’s test where the test function is in theory exactly equal to the source’s entropy, thereby enabling a better detection of defects in the tested source.

متن کاملImproving security of double random phase encoding with chaos theory using fractal images
This study presents a new method based on the combination of cryptography and information hiding methods. Firstly, the image is encoded by the Double Random Phase Encoding (DRPE) technique. The real and imaginary parts of the encoded image are subsequently embedded into an enlarged normalized host image. DRPE demands two random phase mask keys to decode the decrypted image at the destination. T...
