Implementation of the FiGaRO TRNG for FPGAs

Introduction

figaro

Status

First version completed. In testing. Use with caution.

Introduction

This is a an implementation of the FiGaRO true random number generator (TRNG) [1]. The main FPGA target is Lattice iCE40 UltraPlus, but adaption to other FPGAs should be easy to do.

Implementation details

The implementation instantiates four FiRO and four GaRO modules. The modules includes state sampling. The polynomials used for the oscillators are given by equotions (9)..(16) in paper [1]. The eight outputs are then XORed together to form a one bit random value.

The random bit value is sampled at a rate controlled by a 24 bit divisor.
