The TrueRNG provides a steady stream of random numbers through a USB CDC serial port. The random data can then be used to fill the entropy pool in an operating system, or used directly in a custom application. The TrueRNG is ideal for Security related applications (SSH, SSL, GPG), Gaming (dice,cards), Statistical Sampling and simulations.

The TrueRNG Hardware Random Number Generator uses the avalanche effect in a semiconductor junction to generate true random numbers. The avalanche effect has long been used for generation of random number / noise and is a time-tested and proven random noise source.

The semiconductor junction is biased to 12 volts using a boost voltage regulator (since USB only supplies 5V), amplified, then digitized at high-speed. The digitized data is selected and whitened internal to the TrueRNG and sent over the USB port with more than 350 kilobits/second of throughput.
