Abstract
AbstractThis study deals with a method of random number generation using hardware as a source of random signals. The random signals are produced by shot noise generated by a Zener diode and are converted into sequences of high‐quality random numbers. The proposed method is an improvement compared to conventional hardware‐based methods due to the fact that randomness of generated numbers is not affected by irregular performance characteristics of the hardware. This new method was verified by generating approximately 1.2 × 109 decimal random integers and by testing such characteristics of the generated random number sequences as their uniformity and independence by statistical methods. Results of the verification confirmed that characteristics of the random sequences obtained by this method were most satisfactory. © 2001 Scripta Technica, Electron Comm Jpn Pt 3, 84(11): 29–36, 2001
