Colored noise can be generated by filtering of the white noise. It is a simple task. However, it becomes challenging if high operating speed of the generator is required. The realization of digital filter generally requires one multiplication per coefficient. Therefore, a high operating speed is achieved only with the cost of several generalpurpose multipliers. In this paper, a multiplierless r...

Data hiding is the process of embedding data into a media form such as image, voice, and video. The Lest Significant Bit (LSB) is consider as the most widely used embedding technique. LSB embeds the secret message's bits into the least significant bit plane of the image in a sequentially manner . The LSB is simple, but it poses some critical issues. The secret message is easily detected and att...

We present an implementation of a robust quantum random number generator based on the quantum fluctuations of the collective spin of an alkali-metal vapor. The achieved bit rate is limited by the spin relaxation rate of the alkali-metal atoms 1 /T2 to about 1 kbit/s. However, the same physical scheme, which is impervious to limitations posed by single-photon detectors used in current implementa...

Chaos-based pseudonoise (PN) sequences for spread spectrum (SS) communications ranks amongst the most promising applications of chaos to communications. This paper deals with the design and realization of a chaotic frequency hopping (FH) sequence generator that is compatible with current FH/SS technologies. A simplistic generator architecture adopting nonlinear auto-regressive (AR) filter struc...

In this paper, an efficient encryption technique is proposed, especially for JPEG2000 compatible images. The technique uses a multilayer neural network to generate a pseudo-random sequence for transforming wavelet subbands into cipher subbands. The neural network generator takes 64 bit key as a startup seed with additional 64 bit key for initial weights and biases. At each layer, output is calc...

An all-digital True Random Number Generator (TRNG) harvesting entropy from the collapse of 2 edges injected into one even-stage ring is fabricated in 40nm CMOS. A configurable ring and tuning loop provides robustness across a wide range of temperature (-40 to 120°C), voltage (0.6 to 0.9V), process variation, and external attack. The dynamic tuning loop automatically configures the ring to meet ...

The paper presents a high performance True Random Number Generator (TRNG) embedded in Altera Stratix Field Programmable Logic Devices (FPLDs). As a source of randomness, an on-chip noise generated in the internal analog Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) circuitry is used. In contrast with traditionally used free running oscillators, it uses and extends a recently developed method of randomness extraction...
