25.10 A 65nm 0.066pJ/b Floating-Latch-Based True Random Number Generator Resilient to Power-Noise Injection Attacks
Abstract
In Paper 25.10 a floating-latch-based true random number generator (FL-TRNG) is presented that achieves an energy efficiency of 0.066pJ/b by leveraging a floating reservoir capacitor as its power supply. This architecture inherently offers strong resilience against power-supply noise injection attacks. Furthermore, current-starved inverters are employed within the latch to perform mismatch compensation and enhance PVT tolerance.
