    Abstract: An entropy generator comprises an entropy source to generate a random bitstream and an entropy evaluator communicatively coupled to the entropy source to receive the random bitstream. The entropy evaluator includes a first counter to maintain a repetition count of one or more patterns of multiple bits successively included in the random bitstream, and an alert generator communicatively coupled to the first counter to generate an alert in response to the repetition count exceeding a defined threshold. The repetition count may be based on one or more exclusive-or (XOR) operations of a current bit of the random bitstream with one or more previous bits of the random bitstream.

    Abstract: A true random number generator circuit includes a ring oscillator and a plurality of sampling circuits. The ring oscillator includes a plurality of series-connected stages coupled together in a ring. An output of a last stage of the ring oscillator is coupled to an input of a first stage of the ring oscillator. A sampling circuit of the plurality of sampling circuits has an input coupled to a node located between two adjacent stages of the plurality of series-connected stages. Every node of the ring oscillator is coupled to a corresponding sampling circuit of the plurality of sampling circuits. In another embodiment, a method for generating a random number is provided.

    Abstract: Various embodiments relate to a method and system for encoding data to be stored in a memory, including: encoding the data to be stored in memory with an error detection code (EDC), that can detect up to 4 bit errors, as first encoded data; determining the Hamming weight of the first encoded data; inverting the determined Hamming weight; concatenating the first encoded data and three copies of the inverted Hamming weight as concatenated data; encoding the concatenated data with an error correcting code (ECC), that can correct 1 bit error, as second encoded data; and storing the second encoded data in the memory.

    Abstract: Various embodiments relate to a data processing system comprising instructions embodied in a non-transitory computer readable medium, the instructions for a cryptographic operation including matrix multiplication for lattice-based cryptography in a processor, the instructions, including: applying a first function to the rows of a matrix of polynomials to generate first outputs, wherein the first function excludes the identity function; adding an additional row to the matrix of polynomials to produce a modified matrix, wherein each element in the additional row is generated by a second function applied to a column of outputs associated with each element in the additional row; multiplying the modified matrix with a vector of polynomials to produce an output vector of polynomials; applying a verification function to the output vector that produces an indication of whether a fault occurred in the multiplication of the modified matrix with the vector of polynomials; and carrying out a cryptographic operation using output vector when the verification function indicates that no fault occurred in the multiplication of the modified matrix with the vector of polynomials.
