Raw QPP-RNG randomness via system jitter across platforms: a NIST SP 800-90B evaluation [PDF]
Scientific ReportsHigh-quality randomness is fundamental to the security of modern cryptographic systems. We present QPP-RNG, a true random number generator (TRNG) that harvests entropy from diverse system-level jitters–including CPU pipeline timing divergences, DRAM ...

Ring Oscillators with Additional Phase Detectors as a Random Source in a Random Number Generator [PDF]
EntropyIn this paper, we propose a method to enhance the performance of a random number generator (RNG) that exploits ring oscillators (ROs). Our approach employs additional phase detectors to extract more entropy; thus, RNG uses fewer resources to produce bit ...

Numerical Simulation of Bed Topography and Flow Field around Double Rows-Barriers and Gabion Groin in the Direct Channel using Flow-3D [PDF]
محیط زیست و مهندسی آب, 2019 The erosion of bed and river banks and sediment transport is one of the reasons for migration and changes in river morphology, which causes changes in the quality and quantity of flow. Groins are among the rivers' structures that extend from the coast to
