FDK Launches of High- performance General Purpose
Physical Random Number Generator "RPG100"
In order to block leaks of personal information in networked devices such as personal computer and cellular-phone etc., advanced cryptographic technology is required to ensure security as the increase in information exchange on the network. Random number is used for multiple-stage encryption in information encryption, and spontaneous (true) random number is required.
Among the small packaged IC generates, this product has two random number generating circuit parts and two amplifier parts which make use of the thermal noise produced inside the semiconductor to generate genuine random number. It generates high-quality random number in high speed, which meets the federal information processing standard publication (FIPS PUB 140-2), and passed two popular randomness tests (the NIST SP800-22 Test and DIEHARD Test). Moreover, since it is strong against external noise and external temperature, is can install to all kinds of apparatus without being influenced by the use condition. Therefore, the code pattern like the conventional pseudorandom numbers is unlikely to be decoded, and as a result it is possible to build advanced security system such as authentication on the high-speed network, password generation, electronic lock and electronic key of cars.
We also advance the application to amusement apparatuses, IC cards and IC tags, in addition to the use of security and encryption in systems and various apparatuses.
