The entropy evaluation method for noise sources is one of the evaluation methods for the random number generator that is the essential element of modern cryptographic systems and cryptographic modules. The primary entropy evaluation methods outside of the country are more suitable to apply to hardware noise sources than software noise sources, and there is a difficulty in quantitative evaluation of entropy by software noise source. In this paper, we propose an entropy evaluation method that is suitable for software noise sources, considering characteristics of software noise sources. We select time-dependent noise sources that are software noise sources of Windows OS, and the heuristic analysis and experimental analysis are performed considering the characteristics of each time-dependent noise source. Based on these analyses, we propose an entropy harvest method from the noise source and the min-entropy estimation method as the entropy evaluation method for time-dependent noise sources. We also show how to use our entropy evaluation method in the Conditioning Component described in SP 800-90B of NIST(USA).

본 논문에서는 파워 아일랜드(power island)에서 발생되는 잡음 전달을 개선하는 방법에 대해서 연구하였다. 일반적으로 파워 아일랜드는 각 파워 버스(power bus)의 구조적 공진에 의해 잡음 전달이 증가하는 단점이 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 두 가지의 잡음 전달 개선 방법을 제시하였다. 첫 번째로 잡음원의 위치를 변화시킴으로서 구조적 공진을 억제하였다. 두 번째로 공진이 발생할 경우 잡음 전달을 감소시키기 위해서 EGI(Elevated Ground Island)를 제안하였다. 해석결과, 잡음원의 위치에 따라 파워 버스의 공진을 최소로 감소시켰으며, EGI를 이용하여 잡음 전달을 효과적으로 감소할 수 있었다.

In this paper, design rule of power island is studied. Power island have a defect that increase transfer noise when each power bus structure is resonant. So, in this paper, resonances are suppressed for various noise source positions and in order to improve noise characteristics, it is suggested EGI in order to improve noise characteristic. At the simulation result, the least resonance is showed for various noise source position and transfer impedance with power bus resonance is reduced about 11 $\Omega$ by EGI.

We present a random bit generator that uses fingerprint image as the source of random, and the random bit generator is the first generator in the world that uses biometric information for the source of random in the world. The generator produces, on the average, 9,334 bits a fingerprint image in 0.03 second, and the produced bit sequence passes all 16 statistical tests that are recommended by NIST for testing the randomness.

NIST SP 800-90B is developed to evaluate the security of entropy sources. As SP 800-90B was updated to Second Draft, Estimators with predictors were added at Non-IID track. Though the predictors are known as detecting periodic property of noise sources, periodic properties which are detected by predictor are not clearly known. In this paper, we experiment to find properties of predictors. Once, by experiments we have a result that the min-entropy of Non-IID noise sources is generally determined by tests except for estimators with predictors. And then through presenting various experimental results for clarifying periodic properties detected by predictor, we experimentally analyze on its meaning and role of predictor estimation.

21기 정보화사회를 맞이하여 전과서비스 사용의 증가로 인공전파잡음이 계속 증가하는 추세이므로 잡음원과 전파환경 분포를 파악하기 위하여 각 지역의 전파잡음레벨을 조사하고 있다. 그 중 년도별 전파잡음레벨의 변화와 시간에 따른 잡음레벨 변화를 분석해보니 주파수 대역에 따라 특징적인 변화를 보여주고 있다. 따라서 앞으로 주파수 스펙트럼분포와 잡음원과의 관계를 분석하여 전파환경 보호에 관한 대책을 세우고 원활한 전파서비스가 제공될 수 있도록 할 것이다.

The hydrophones is mounted in many applications on a vibrating surface and functions as an underwater acoustic signal receiver without sensing the vibrations from the mounting surface. However, their performance is usually degraded by the interference of exterior noises such as acoustic cavitation in water stream, host structural vibration in the hull, and propeller motions. This paper describes the design and evaluation of a self noise suppressing hydrophones which shows very poor sensitivity to the external noises, first, effects of the external noise on the its receiver performance is simulated with finite element method(FEM). Second, the geometrical variations are implemented on the original structure that include additional air pockets and acoustic walls which work as acoustic shied or scatter of the noises. The results show that the effect of the external noise is the most significant when it is applied near to the bottom of the side wall of the hydrophones. The transverse noise induced by the outside water flow is isolated most effectively when a thin compliant (damping) layer combined with two air pockets is inserted to the circumference of the nose. Noise level is reduced about fifty nine percent of that of the original structure.
