Paper Abstract
Random numbers can be classified as either pseudo- or physical-random in character. Pseudo-random numbers'
periodicity renders them inappropriate for use in cryptographic applications, but naturally-generated physical-random
numbers have no calculable periodicity, thereby making them ideally-suited to the task. The laser diode naturally
produces a wideband "noise" signal that is believed to have tremendous capacity and great promise, for the rapid
generation of physical-random numbers for use in cryptographic applications. We measured a laser diode's output, at a
fast photo detector and generated physical-random numbers from frequency noises. We then identified and evaluated the
binary-number-line's statistical properties. The result shows that physical-random number generation, at speeds as high
as 40Gbps, is obtainable, using the laser diode's frequency noise characteristic.
