A Low-Cost Low-Power Ring Oscillator-based Truly Random Number Generator for Encryption on Smart Cards

A Low-Cost Low-Power Ring Oscillator-Based Truly Random Number Generator for Encryption on Smart Cards Abstract: The design of a low-cost low-power ring oscillator-based truly random number generator (TRNG) macrocell, which is suitable to be integrated in smart cards, is presented. The oscillator sampling technique is exploited, and a tetrahedral oscillator with large jitter has been […]


A Scalable Approximate DCT Architectures for Efficient HEVC Compliant Video Coding

A Scalable Approximate DCT Architectures for Efficient HEVC Compliant Video Coding  Abstract: An approximate kernel for the discrete cosine transform (DCT) of length 4 is derived from the 4point DCT defined by the High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) standard, and used that for the computation of DCT and inverse DCT (IDCT) of powerof2 lengths. There […]
