A New Lightweight CSPRNG Implemented in a 0.18μm CMOS Technology

In this work, a new Cryptographically Secure Pseudo-Random Number Generator (CSPRNG) has been proposed. This generator has been implemented in a 0.18 μm technology and has been capable of generating sequences at a high speed, using a small area and low power consumption. The output sequences generated by this system have been subjected to the NIST randomness tests proving that they are indistinguishable from a truly random sequence. Finally, other security-related aspects have been studied proving that the proposed generator is cryptographically secure.
