Post-Processing Free Spatio-Temporal Optical Random Number Generator Resilient to Hardware Failure and Signal Injection Attacks

摘要

We present a random number generator based on quantum effects in photonicemission and detection. It is unique in simultaneous use of both spatial andtemporal quantum information contained in the system which makes it resilientto hardware failure and signal injection attacks. We show that its deviationfrom randomness cam be estimated based on simple measurements. Generatednumbers pass NIST Statistical test suite without post-processing.
