Hardware information security has become an important structure and application metric. The existing hardware security has a well designed security measures but it only address a certain amount of rising security requirements and is slow for a lot of the emerging security primitives Physical true random number generators (TRNGs) appear to be critical components of many cryptographic systems. Random number generators are used to combat this problem by producing different and unique identification for each user in a network. This paper analyzes on how memristors can be implemented in ring oscillator (RO) based random number generators and how the random number generator measure randomness and its value. The proposed random number generator produces a randomness value of 25.2µ.
