Abstract :
Random numbers represent one of the most sensible part of a cryptographic system, since the cryptographic keys must be entirely based on them. The security of a communication relies on the key that had been established between two users. If an attacker is able to deduce that key, the communication is compromised. This is why key generation must completely rely on random number generators, so that nobody can deduce the. This paper will describe a set of public and free Random Number Generators (RNG) within Android-based Smartphones by exploiting different sensors, along with the way of achieving this scope. Moreover, this paper will present some conclusive tests and results over them.
