Apparatus and Method for Generating Random Bits

摘要

An apparatus for generating random bits includes a plurality of mapping devices. A respective mapping device is configured to map a predefined number of input signals, with the aid of a combinatorial mapping, into a predefined number of output signals. The plurality of mapping devices are concatenated with one another, and at least one combinatorial mapping is configured such that a state change of an input signal of a respective mapping device is mapped on average onto more than one output signal of the respective mapping device. No feedback loop is present such that a state change of at least one feedback output signal of a specific mapping device is fed as a state change of at least one input signal to another mapping device such that one or a plurality of output signals of the specific mapping device is influenced by the state change of the feedback output signal.
