Patent AT-E400843-T1: [Translated] INTEGRATED CIRCUIT WITH A TRUE RANDOM NUMBER GENERATOR

An integrated circuit (1..1''',1a..1c) with a true random number generator (2..2'''), which comprises at least one instable physical uncloneable function (3..3''',3a,3a') for generating true random numbers (8). Hence each device of a group of devices can be provided with a unique true random generator so that each device of the group is provided with different true random numbers even when said devices are applied to identical environmental conditions. Such a random number generator may be part of a smart card as well as of a module for near field communication for example.
