• Abstract: The aim of this paper is to describe a way to improve the reliability of the measurement of the statistical parameters of the phase noise in a multi-ring oscillator-based TRNG. This is necessary to guarantee that the entropy rate is within the bounds prescribed by standards or security specifications. According to the literature, to filter out global noises which may strongly affect the measurement of the phase noise parameters, it is necessary to perform a differential measure. But a differential measurement only returns the parameters of the phase noise resulting of the composition of the noises of two oscillators whereas jitters parameters of individual oscillators are required to compute the entropy rate of a multi-ring oscillator-based TRNG. In this paper, we revisit the "jitter transfer principle" in conjunction with a tweaked design of an oscillator based TRNG to enjoy the precision of differential measures and, at the same time, obtain jitter parameters of individual oscillators. We show the relevance of our method with simulations and experiments with hardware implementations.

Our analysis reveals that parameter-dependent noise introduces a bias towards local minima with smaller noise variance, whereas spherical Gaussian noise does not.
