I may be way off but it seems to me that a colonel level RNG can only
pick up entropy from boot which means hardware noise. Isn't that easy

because you have more entropy to be gathered.
Hi all, first time here
Recently i've presented my thesis based on TRNG.
I've made a circuit oscillator based on Chua's circuit that produce RN
and pass the FIPS 140-2 test.
The Phisical phenomenon that produce entropy in that case is the random
oscillation of the tension inside the circuit.
Are you able to share the thesis?
Chua's circuit is next to useless in silicon for the usual reasons:
1) Inductors, capacitors and resistors are a problem in silicon.
2) We don't have a decent model of chaotic systems from which we can
derive min entropy.
3) Confusing chaos for entropy is not necessarily the right thing to do.
But to some of us, all entropy sources are interesting.
