The SwiftRNG LE (Lite Edition) is a general purpose USB device that generates true (hardware) random numbers at a rate of 29 Mbits per second. it is compatible with most server oriented operating systems and hardware platforms.

Core capabilities

• Generation performance – 29 Mbit/s generation speed through a USB 2.0 High-Speed interface
• Device cluster scalability and fail-over capabilities through provided software API on Linux and macOS platforms
• Windows 10/11 compatibility through provided ‘entropy-server’ application and software API
• Device API - enables independent security testing and validation of the entropy source in compliance with NIST SP 800-90B
• Post-processing methods available - SHA-256, SHA-512, XorShift64
• Real-time validation of each noise source and entropy output – provides confidence of device operation correctness

Description

The core functionality of the SwiftRNG LE device relies on two identical electrical circuits that utilize avalanche breakdown effect in reversed-biased Zener diodes and serve as independent noise sources. The avalanche breakdown effect in reversed-biased Zener diodes is observed at above 6-8 volts and the electrical noise generated in such components is strong enough and has random characteristics. The electrical noise from the noise sources are digitized into separate high entropy random byte streams and inspected using build-in health diagnostics. The resulting random byte streams are then combined and post-processed to produce a final output random number stream of the entropy source. A monitoring logic checks the quality of the final random bytes produced by continuously running ‘Repetition Count Test’ and ‘Adaptive Proportion Test’ tests.
