SPICE Simulation of a "Provably Secure" True Random Number Generator

Markus Dichtl, Bernd Meyer, and Hermann Seuschek

Abstract

In their paper "A Provably Secure True Random Number Generator with Built-in Tolerance to Active Attacks", B. Sunar, W. Martin, and D. Stinson propose a design for a true random number generator. Using SPICE simulation we study the behaviour of their random number generator and show that practical implementations result in a too high frequency signal to be processed with current CMOS technology.
