August 2015- Whitewood Encryption Systems announced the release of its proprietary next generation entropy engine at Black Hat. The Whitewood Entropy Engine™ solves the problem of entropy generation. It provides random data in a convenient PCIe card form factor. At its core is a patent-pending quantum entropy source that exploits the immutable laws of quantum…
December 16, 2014, IEDM, San Francisco—W.H. Choi from the University of Minnesota presented their work on a magnetic tunnel junction random number generator. This design avoids many of the shortcomings of other techniques by using the technologies being developed for spin torque resistors in memories. The increasing need for random numbers is result of the…
August 18, 2011, Hot Chips 23 Conference, Stanford, CA—George Cox from Intel described the design for a digital random number generator (RNG). This building block is used for creating keys for cryptography and the higher the randomness, the better. To date, the highest randomness is entropy and the increasing need for security calls for something…
