<p>The invention relates to a method for generating a random number, comprising steps of: connecting signal transmitting cells (CL1-CLm, I1) to form a ring of cells connected in series, the cells comprising an odd number of inverters (I1); simultaneously taking signal samples (S0-Sm) of signals transiting respectively between pairs of adjacent cells in the ring; and combining the signal samples to provide a random number (Out).</p> |
