This article describes about the design, implementation, and analysis of a true random number generator (TRNG) employing an all-digital phase-locked loop (ADPLL) based on a finite impulse response (FIR) filter as the digital loop filter and implemented on the Artix 7(XC7A35T-CPG236-1) field programmable gate array (FPGA) board using the Xilinx Vivado v.2015.2 design suite. The coefficients of a 3rd-order broadcast low-pass digital FIR filter are computed using the Keiser window method. The MATLAB-FDA tool is used to calculate the filter coefficient. After reducing the bias in the sequence using the XOR-corrector post-processing approach, the suggested ADPLL-based TRNG designs created an unbiased stochastic random number with an overall throughput of 200 Mbps for both designs. The first proposed FIR-ADPLL-based TRNG design (FAT-1) consumes 0.072 W of power, whereas the second proposed FIR-ADPLL-based TRNG design (FAT-2) consumes 0.074 W. The resulting bitstream is verified for randomness using national institute of standards and technology (NIST) test following post-processing. Digital storage oscilloscope (DSO) is interfaced to the Artrix-7 FPGA board in order to capture the TRNG output waveforms. Both the proposed FIR-based ADPLL-TRNG designs passed the NIST SP 800-22 test, indicating that they are well-suited for a variety of industrial applications, including network security, cybersecurity, banking security, smart cards, radio-frequency identification tags, Internet of Things, and Industrial Internet of Things.

This paper describes the design and implementation of an internet of thing (IoT)-based application that uses a true random number generator (TRNG) with an all digital phase locked loop (ADPLL) for secure wireless communication. Field programmable gate array (FPGA) boards were used on the transmitter and receiver sides and were interfaced with Esp8266 chips to wirelessly send and receive encrypted sensor data. The MQ-2 gas sensor and tracking sensor were connected to the FPGA board on the transmitter side, where data from the sensors was encrypted using the exclusive-OR (XOR) function and the TRNG architecture. The system can be controlled by users through a web browser served by the ThingSpeak cloud. The Artix-7 FPGA device is used to implement the proposed wireless communication system, for which design and synthesis were done using the Xilinx Vivado 2015.2 tool. The proposed system uses a low amount of power and is suitable for a standalone, highly secure TRNG-based IoT application. The National Institute of Standard and Testing (NIST SP 800-22) test showed that ADPLL with finite impulse response (FIR) filter-based TRNGs are better for encrypting IoT devices for secure wireless communication.
