41.1 Overview

The True Random Number Generator (TRNG) module generates unpredictable random numbers that are not generated by an algorithm.

The True Random Number Generator (TRNG) is used to generate a Random Number for cryptographic applications. For applications that require an entropy source for seeding a NIST approved DRNG (Deterministic RNG) as required by FIPS PUB 140-2 and 140-3, it is recommended that an external TRNG source be used that is compliant with the NIST Special Publication 800-22 Test Suite.
