Abstract:
Abstract: In this paper the problem of producing random binary blocks for security applications is considered. Random data is collected from network time delay measurements and its quality is checked by statistical tests. A special enhancement, a system of collector-servers is proposed and its security is analysed. Key words: generation of random values, tests of randomness, good source of random data, private and authentic communication Introduction: the idea Good random values are very important ingredients for algorithms used in the field of data security. In the absence of sources that use physical randomness (such as electronic noise), random numbers of guaranteed quality are not readily available.
