In this thesis a True Random Number Generator (TRNG) employed for cryptographic applications is investigated, implemented and evaluated. The design of TRNG and its embedded tests are described in VHDL language and then implemented on an FPGA platform. Randomness is extracted from the jitter of ring oscillators that has self-failure detecting and sampling logic. The implementation needs only primitive resources which are common in all kinds of FPGAs. The embedded randomness tests described in Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 140-1 are realized on FPGA. The statistical quality of the generated random bits is also confirmed by running the Diehard and NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) Test Suites seperately. The implemented TRNG has a throughput up to 0.5 Mbps and its core occupies only 25 slices of Xilinx Virtex-5 FPGA. This design demonstrates the possibility of generating and confirming true random bit sequences by using only the internal resources of FPGAs. The performance of our TRNG is also compared with a separate IC, RPG100 from FDK Corporation.M.S. - Master of Scienc
