Generating true random numbers using floating ADC input – myth or facts?

This article shows the feasibility of using ADC input of AVR chip as a source of True Random Number Generator (TRNG). I have prepared the testbed and recorded via UART (115200; 8N1) about 50’000’000 of 32bit random numbers. The tests took about 11 hours (including a time I spent to pray to UART for a … Read more

ATtiny13 – pseudo random numbers

Many applications require random data to feed their algorithms. One would say that it’s quite easy when we can use a function from an existing cryptographic library. However, even if we can use such function like for example rand() from stdlib, it can quickly turn out, that this feature consume more then a half of … Read more
