A Closer Look at a Recent Pipelined True Random Number Generator Design

Markus Dichtl

Abstract

The paper " An energy and area efficient, all digital entropy source compatible with modern standards based on jitter pipelining", by Peetermans and Verbauwhede, IACR Transactions on Cryptographic Hardware and Embedded Systems, Aug. 2022, 88-109, suggests a pipelined TRNG design and a stochastic model for it. The stochastic model is shown to be inadequate and other problems of the TRNG design are identified. Possible fixes for the problems are considered.
