Abstract

Embodiments of systems and methods for a multi-source true random number generator (TRNG) are disclosed. A set of values is generated from each of the sources of randomness and an extractor is applied each of the set of values to produce a set of random values from each source. At least one extractor for at least one of the sources is a multi-radix extractor. The sets of values generated from each source of randomness can be composited to generate a random bitstring as the output of the TRNG.
