Ultra-Small Authentication and Security Devices for Solving Security Issues in Information and Communications

Overview of Developed Products and Technologies

・This product is a security device that performs secure encrypted communication by generating random numbers based on the probability of quantum mechanics.
・Conventional encrypted communication uses pseudo-random numbers created by software calculations to authenticate and encrypt, making it decryptable and vulnerable.
・In contrast, our technology can generate genuine random numbers that are entirely random and do not overlap with trillion numbers. Applying these random numbers to encrypted communication and identification codes for communication devices will help realize a safer information society.
・This product is an SoC (System on a Chip, a single-chip device with a built-in microcontroller) that provides a new safety infrastructure for automated driving and financial transactions that require an exceptionally high degree of information security.
・Because of its ultra-small size and low power consumption, it can be embedded in media such as mobile devices and IC cards.

Features and Key Points

・Non-deterministic random number generation technique
　(1) Alpha particles emitted by the spontaneous decay of atomic nuclei are detected by semiconductors.
　(2) Each time an atomic nucleus decays, a pulse is obtained, and the pulse interval is measured, and a random number is generated from that number.
・Spontaneous nuclear decay is not affected by external conditions such as temperature, pressure, or electromagnetic waves. It also cannot be artificially controlled or processed. This mechanism makes it possible to incorporate it into all semiconductor products.
