All
cryptographic protocols require the generation and use of secret
values that must be unknown to |
|
|
attackers.
Random Number Generators (RNG) serves as the fundamental building
block of all security |
|
|
operations
as it is required to generate "seeds" for public/private key pairs
for asymmetric algorithms |
|
|
such as RSA, DSA, and Diffie-Hellman, and to generate secret keys
for symmetric and hybrid |
|
|
crypto-systems.
As security protocols rely on randomness of keys, RNG for cryptographic |
|
|
applications
must meet very stringent requirements, of which the most essential
is that |
|
|
eavesdroppers
must not be able to make any meaningful predictions about the RNG
outputs. |
|
|
|
|
|
Many
existing applications utilize strong cryptographic algorithms, however,
they all start from the |
|
|
random
"seeds" that aren't truly random and unpredictable, which weakens
the overall system |
|
|
robustness
in security. Typical examples are those that use different timing
of system hard disk |
|
|
drives,
system status register, two different clocking speeds, movement
of the mouse and user's |
|
|
password.
The more predictable these "random" numbers are, the easier it is
for determined |
|
|
eavesdropper
who have sufficient computing power to break. |
|
|
|
|
|
As
shown in the following figure, the Enova True Random Number Generator
uses "white noise" as |
|
|
the
random "seeds." It can produce values that are truly random and
non-deterministic and is not |
|
|
usceptible
to systematically analyzed attacks. |
