Researchers at Hanyang University developed a light-driven true random number generator for embedding secure signatures into images and detecting tampering.
Key Details
- 1Hanyang University created a photospike-based true random number generator (PS-TRNG) using CuV2O6/SnO2 quantum-dot heterostructures.
- 2The device generates ternary random numbers in real time by exploiting stochastic charge trapping and de-trapping under pulsed light.
- 3Generated random numbers showed stability over 2 million cycles and 460 days, and passed all 15 NIST randomness tests.
- 4Random numbers can be embedded into images as security signatures, allowing detection of image modifications or AI-generated forgeries.
- 5Potential applications include secure medical image authentication and deepfake detection in sensitive domains.
Why It Matters
Embedding hardware-based entropy into image sensors enables pixel-level detection of image tampering and deepfakes at the point of acquisition, enhancing trust, security, and forensic capabilities in radiology and other fields.
