8.9.1 Description

The Random Number Generator (TRNG) passes the American NIST Special Publication 800-22 (A Statistical Test Suite for Random and Pseudorandom Number Generators for Cryptographic Applications) and the Diehard Suite of Tests.

The TRNG may be used as an entropy source for seeding an NIST approved DRNG (Deterministic RNG) as required by FIPS PUB 140-2 and 140-3.

Health tests are performed on-the-fly as per SP800-90B standard.

The TRNG is fully designed with digital cells, and under the specified operating conditions, external factors such as temperature, humidity, etc. affect TRNG ageing in the same manner as all other digital peripherals (CPU core, bus matrix, etc.) of the product.
