Abstract
A random value generator is provided that comprises a carbon nanotube structure that generates a random output current in response to a voltage input. The random value generator includes a random value output circuit coupled to the carbon nanotube structure that receives the random output current from the carbon nanotube structure and generates a random output value based on the received random output current from the carbon nanotube structure.
