Zusammenfassung:	A true random number generator (TRNG) is disclosed that includes an enclosure. The enclosure enfolds radioactive source defining a radioactive source surface and a cavity separating the radioactive source from an array of cells that define an array surface with an edge. Each cell in the array comprises a detector constructed to detect electrons within the cavity from the decay of the radioactive source and to produce a signal for the detected energy. A projection of the radioactive source surface onto the array surface extends beyond the edge and encompasses the array surface.
