ATHENA RNG-A100 Description
PRODUCT BRIEF BOOK: ASIC | INTEL | MICROSEMI | XILINX
The RNG-A100 is a minimum area solution that couples a non-deterministic entropy source (NRNG), containing multiple random oscillators, with a non-linear deterministic RNG (DRNG) to produce the highest quality RNG available today. Athena’s innovative architecture uses non-deterministic data as an initialization vector and also continuously incorporates the entropy of the NRNG with that of the DRNG. The RNG-A100 has been proven compliant with NIST SP800-22 and FIPS 140-1 randomness tests in commercial customer silicon.
The RNG-A100 continuously monitors its operation to detect potential fault conditions. On top of that, the RNG-A100 is built to survive faults while continuing to provide cryptographic-grade random numbers. It has also been designed to mitigate attacks on RNGs and exploit application-level sources of non-deterministic randomness.
