IC Random Number Generator Exploiting Two Simultaneous Metastable Events of Tetrahedral Oscillators

A low-cost random number generator (RNG) based on a tetrahedral ring oscillator, which can be utilized in cryptographic systems, is presented. The proposed design exploits two metastable events in the oscillator caused by turning on and off three additional inverters in the classical tetrahedral osc...
