Uso de Plataformas Embarcadas na caracterização de um Gerador Físico de Números Aleatórios

The generation of random numbers is a technique that has numerous applicabilities: numerical simulations for meteorological events, games, security protocols and cryptography, etc. It can be implemented physically or logically. Using the physical method, we arrive at nondeterministic entropy sources based on random or quantum physical effects. This work proposes the creation of an embedded system capable of performing readings of an entropy source, based on the avalanche effect of semiconductors, and verifying the samples based on the tests proposed by the certifying entity to check the efficiency of the presented system for applications in Communications Systems.
