Software Psuedo Random Number Generators to Hardware True Random Number Generators : a transition in Data-Security
Authors(1) :-Shreenabh Agrawal Objective of research: To understand the basic issues in data security during vital transactions related to money or critical data in e-business and to statistically test the efficiency of PRNG –Pseudo Random Number Generators versus TRNG- True Random Number Generators used for Cryptography. Experimental set up: A prototype of TRNG was designed. The Schematic component architecture of the prototype, the number generation code and the C Inspired Algorithm have been presented. 5000 numbers were generated using it. Another set of 5000 numbers was generated using an online PRNG. Statistical testing: The numbers thus generated were tested by Kolmogorov Smirnov Z test for uniformity and Runs Test for Median and Mean for randomness. The results were displayed in tabular format. Results: The statistical analysis showed that the performance of TRNG was better than PRNG for both uniformity and randomness.
