Title: Parallel, True Random Number Generator (P-TRNG): Using Parallelism for Fast True Random Number Generation in Hardware
Abstract: Currently, True Random Number Generation (TRNG) is relatively slow, utilizing natural, physical processes as its entropy source. Other types of random numbers, such as Pseudo-Random Numbers, lack true randomness as eventually they repeat, but can be generated with great speed. The main idea of the work presented in this paper is to introduce parallel random number generation as a scalable means of increasing the rate of true random number generation in hardware to match and surpass that of Pseudo-Random Number Generators (PRNGs). Using a Raspberry Pi platform, this work will combine two (2) standard TRNGs to form one (1) unified, Parallel - True Random Number Generator (P-TRNG), with more than twice the output performance rate of its component TRNGs, and with demonstrated scalability.
