|
|
FDK Corporation will release a new IC package of true (physical) random
number generator "RPG100B" from forthcoming November. Its physical
size is reduced to 69% in mounting area of the RPG100 package, which complies
with the most strict security requirement for cryptographic modules called
FIPS (U.S. Federal Information Processing Standard).
With the rapid increasing of using PCs, cellular phones and so on for electronic commerce, it has been required to prevent personal information leakages and to protect such privacy information through network security. In such circumstances, it has been required to encipher the information by using high quality true random numbers as secret keys.
The RPG100B has an amplifier circuitry, which amplifies the thermal noise in a semiconductor. This amplified noise is used to generate true random pulses that are fed to random number generation circuitry.
The new Bumped Chip Carrier (BCC) Package is only 5 x 5 x 0.8mm in size.
In comparison with the package of RPG100 (32 pins Low Profile Quad Flat
L-Leaded Package (LQFP)), it has been succeeded of reducing the mounting
area of RPG100B to 69% while keeping the same performances. In addition,
it is impossible to monitor the in and out signals because the mounting
pins are invisible. Furthermore, it can be installed in every type of electronic
equipment as it withstands on external noise interferences and on any whether
conditions. Therefore, it is possible to build a sophisticated security
system for authentication, password generation, electronic lock and so
on in high-speed online.
FDK will exhibit the new true random number generation IC package RPG100B, RPG100 and the RANDOM STREAMER (USB Module) in forth coming CEATEC JAPAN 2005 that will be held at Makuhari Messe from October 4 to 8.
