During April 2025, Korn developed the TRNG Self-Test Threshold Guidance feature for the chipsalliance/caliptra-rtl repository. This work established entropy-based high, low, and repetition thresholds to optimize the performance and security of hardware random number generators. Korn’s approach involved analyzing entropy estimates and alpha values to define recommended configuration parameters, reducing risk and improving reliability for production deployments. The feature was accompanied by comprehensive documentation updates in Markdown, enabling straightforward adoption by users. Korn’s contribution focused on documentation and configuration guidance, addressing a critical need for robust TRNG validation and aligning hardware RNG settings with security and performance requirements.
