Abstract

The objective of this project is to utilize an FPGA board which is the CMOD A7 35t to obtain a pseudo random number which can be used for encryption. We aim to achieve this by leveraging the inherent randomness present in environmental data captured by sensors. This data will be used as a seed to initialize an algorithm implemented on the CMOD A7 35t FPGA board. The project will focus on interfacing the sensors with the FPGA and developing suitable algorithms to ensure the generated numbers exhibit strong randomness properties.
