Design and Testing Methodologies for True Random Number Generators Towards Industry Certification KU Leuven
© 2018 IEEE. The objective of this paper is to provide insight on the design, evaluation and testing of modern True Random Number Generators (TRNGs) aimed towards certification. We discuss aspects related to each of these stages by means of two illustrative TRNG designs: PLL-TRNG and DC-TRNG. Topics covered in the paper include: The importance of formal security evaluations based on a stochastic model of the entropy source, the development of ...
Certification of Semi-forest Coffee as a Land-sharing Strategy in Ethiopia KU Leuven Ghent University
