Abstract
We aim to access entropy sources available within smartphones in order to construct and evaluate a random number generator which is competitive in comparison with existing and proven random number generators. A prototype utilizing the herein proposed algorithm shall generate data that can be tested against the Statistical Test Suit provided by NIST. Although our initial intention of using cosmic radiation failed, we were able to extract randomness from incoming video and audio sources. We found that it is possible to access these sources of entropy utilizing sensors from smartphones resulting in 15 out of 15 successfully passed tests within the Statistical Test Suit. We also found that incorrect methods of sensor data collection using our prototype eventually generates weak random numbers and fails NIST's Statistical Test Suit. Finally, we suggest that in order to reach the initial goal of providing a smartphone-based true nondeterministic random number generator, the detection of muons should be researched.
