Intrinsic-ID’s iRNG is a random number generator developed on Intrinsic-IDs Hardware Intrinsic Security (HIS) technology. The generation of random data by iRNG is based on the use of memory:  6T-SRAM is used as the source of entropy. This uninitialized SRAM is used for the generation of a true random seed, which serves as input for a FIPS 140-3 compliant Deterministic Random Bit Generator (DRBG). It is designed to generate large amounts of random data at high speed, with a very short start-up time. It is available both in hardware and software and can be integrated seamlessly into any chip design. 

Functionality: 

Random data generation

Advantages:

• Quick start-up time, due to always ready SRAM
• Fast generation of large amounts of random data
• Based on true random seed
• Technology based on uninitialized SRAM makes the device unclonable
• Low implementation cost
• Usage of the SRAM makes the technology scalable, small and flexible towards process  variations.
• iRNG has a high reliability, several tests have been performed and its behavior is stable under all circumstances (changes in temperature, voltage, aging).

Applications:

• For a complete security solution, iRNG can be combined with other products of Intrinsic-ID, e.g. Quiddikey. With this completely HIS-based security functionality, no secret information leaves the device unprotected.
• The generated random bit stream is approved to be used for the generation of strong key material, IVs, nonces and any other random data.
• iRNG can be used in many kinds of devices and applications such as smart cards, automotive ICs, government & military communication systems, content protection systems, routers or other network communication devices, Public Key Infrastructures, modules for erasing sensitive data by overwriting with random data, etc.
