Random Number Generator Seed Source

February 10, 2022

RNG seed source

This video dives into the inner workings of random number generators (RNGs), focusing on how microcontrollers create seed values. These seeds are the foundation of randomness in both pseudo and true RNGs. If the seed isn’t truly unpredictable, the entire encryption system may be compromised.

Watch a video originally posted by 0033mer YouTube channel showing how a microcontroller creates a seed internally.

Real Random doesn’t just seed randomness—it is the entropy. Our hardware TRNGs extract entropy from Brownian motion in a tamper-evident system, offering truly unpredictable values without relying on limited microcontroller behavior. Perfect for post-quantum cryptography, secure sessions, and enterprise systems.
