We provide an overview of selected crypto‐hardware devices, with a special reference to the
lightweight electronic implementation of encryption/decryption schemes, hash functions, and …

Discrete time chaos based true random number generators are lightweight cryptographic
primitives that offer scalable performance for the emerging low power mobile applications. In …

Piecewise linear one‐dimensional maps have been proposed as the basis for low‐power
analog and mixed‐signal true random number generators (TRNGs). Recent research has …

The entropy produced by a conventional single chaotic map based true random number
generator (TRNG) is usually limited due to the finite number of Lyapunov exponents. In this …

We discuss a stochastic algorithm to design tuning controllers for cryptographic True
Random Number Generators, compliant to NIST recommendations, as an effective low …

In this brief we outline a novel perspective for the design of True Random Number
Generators in Programmable Logic Devices (PLDs), proposing to bring together PLD …

Introduction Random numbers play a key-role in cryptography, since they are used, eg, to
define enciphering keys or passwords [1]. Nowadays, the generation of random numbers is …

We discuss the low‐complexity integrated circuit design of a true random bit generator with
parametric self‐tuning capabilities. The design targets a mixed‐signal complementary metal …

Weak key analysis is a key issue in the design of chaotic ciphers. While most of the existing
research focusing on the degradation of the chaotic sequences which causes weak keys, we …

This paper presents a compression method that exploits pseudo-chaotic systems, to be
applied to True Random Bit Generators (TRBGs). The theoretical explanation of the …
