MSP430FR5992: TRND generation for FIPS140-2

Part Number: MSP430FR5992

Hi Champs,

I need the true random number generator for an application.
FIPS140-2 certification is mandatory.
Could you please let me know if the application below works and could be certified by FIPS140-2?

  • Hi Hitoshi,

    Thanks for your post. This application report only provide an implementation of a Counter Mode Deterministic Random Byte Generator (CTR-DRBG) on MSP430FR59xx and MSP430FR69xx microcontrollers (MCUs). The CTR-DRBG is pseudorandom number generator. The MSP430FR59xx and MSP430FR69xx have not true random number generator.
