True random number generators (TRNGs) are commonly used in hardware security for
secure authentication, data encryption, etc. The raw random numbers often exhibit defects …

This brief presents the application of perimeter-gated single-photon avalanche diodes (pg-
SPADs) as true random number generators (TRNGs). Typical SPADs have been used as …

Random pulse computing (RPC), the third paradigm along with digital and quantum
computing, draws inspiration from biology, particularly the functioning of neurons. Here, we …

The hash function is an important branch of cryptology. The controlled quantum walk-based
hash function, which is presented by Li, is a kind of novel hash function. It is safe, flexible …

Entropy is a crucial resource in the domains of cryptography, artificial intelligence, and
science. This paper introduces RAVA, a true random number generator based on avalanche …

Random number generators (RNGs) are notoriously hard to build and test, especially in a
cryptographic setting. Although one cannot conclusively determine the quality of an RNG by …

True randomness is necessary for the security of any cryptographic protocol, including
quantum key distribution (QKD). In QKD transceivers, randomness is supplied by one or …

The constrained minimization (respectively maximization) of directed distances and of
related generalized entropies is a fundamental task in information theory as well as in the …

Quantum random number generators can deliver entropy based on inherently non-
deterministic physical phenomena, which is essential for applications where quality …
