An apparatus for generating a random number has high entropy. The apparatus includes a
plurality of random number generators, each of which generates a metastability signal and …

Embodiments include bitstring generators and methods of their operation. A sampling
parameter of the bitstring genera tor is set to a current value, and values of one or more bits …

A random number generator includes a first oscillator configured to output a first oscillating
signal having a first frequency. A second oscillator is configured to output a second …

(57) ABSTRACT A random number generating apparatus and method forgen erating a
metastable state signal by using logic gates include a metastable state generating unit …

(57) ABSTRACT A sequence generator implemented on a receiver is synchro nized with a
sequence generator at a transmitter. The receiver receives k n-state symbols, with k> 1 and …

BACKGROUND The present invention relates generally to random number generators and
in particular to random bit source generators with bit conditioning. The electronic generation …
