Software-based Random Number Generators for Resource Constrained Devices

摘要

As random numbers are used in various fields such as cryptography and computer science, research on such topic is essential. In this regard, studies on efficient random number generators have been conducted, and they involve developments of both hardware and software aspect of the generator. This paper focuses on investigation of software-based random number generators, which can be applied to resource-limited devices including embedded devices. Studies of different algorithms and analysis of their strength will provide a strong basis of newly developed random generator in future studies.
