Co-development and implementation of a novel random number generator compliant with federal information processing standard 140-2 level 2

超电子TCS（Ultra-TCS）在全球范围内提供先进的C4 ISR（指挥、控制、通信、计算机、情报、监视和侦察）和EW（电子战）系统。他们的产品包括Ultra ORION，这是一系列软件支持的战术无线电系统。在NSERC的共同赞助下，Ultra-TCS还在高等技术学院（ETS）设立了高性能无线应急战术通信的工业研究主席。Ultra ORION无线电技术现在必须符合NIST SP 800 - 90 B中确定的最新联邦信息处理标准（FIPS）140-2 2级。为了帮助达到这一标准，Ultra-TCS收购了安大略的Cybersecurity Umbrella，该公司拥有相关的专业知识，并参与了ISO和NIST等安全标准机构的工作，以帮助行业实现合规性。Cybersecurity Umbrella也是多伦多Centennial College的合作伙伴。CybersecurityUmbrella-Centennial College的合作伙伴关系现在正在发展，包括项目开发和网络安全创新。蒙特利尔的Ultra-TCS和ETS与多伦多地区的Cybersecurity Umbrella和Centennial将共同开发一种符合FIPS标准的随机数生成器（RNG），该生成器可以通过融入ORION无线电技术来实现商业化。这包括开发（i）基于FPGA（现场可编程门阵列）上的物理噪声的RNG;（ii）用于测量产生的熵并确保其通过认证的软件;以及（iii）用于进行三种类型的熵测试的健康模块。这四方的产业和学术合作将导致下一代安全无线电技术的开发和商业化，提高加拿大产业在全球的竞争力。

Ultra Electronics TCS (Ultra-TCS) provides advanced C4ISR (Command, Control, Communications,Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance) and EW (electronic warfare) systems around theglobe. Their products include Ultra ORION, a family of software-enabled tactical radio systems. Co-sponsoredby NSERC, Ultra-TCS has also set-up the Industrial Research Chair in High Performance Wireless EmergencyTactical Communications at École de technologie supérieure (ETS).The Ultra ORION radio technology is now required to adhere to the latest Federal Information ProcessingStandard (FIPS) 140-2 Level 2 identified in NIST SP800-90B. To help meet this standard, Ultra-TCS engagedCybersecurity Umbrella in Ontario which has related expertise and has participated with security standardsbodies such as ISO and NIST to help industry achieve compliance.Cybersecurity Umbrella is also a partner of Centennial College in Toronto. The CybersecurityUmbrella-Centennial College partnership is now growing to include program development and innovation incybersecurity. Ultra-TCS and ETS in Montreal together with Cybersecurity Umbrella and Centennial in theToronto region will co-develop a FIPS-compliant Random Number Generator (RNG) that can becommercialized by incorporating into the ORION radio technology. This includes developing (i) a RNG basedon physical noise on FPGA (field programmable gate array); (ii) software to measure entropy generated andensure it passes certification; and (iii) a Health Module to conduct three type of entropy tests.This four-way industry-academic collaboration will result in development and commercialization of anext-generation secure radio technology, boosting the competitiveness of Canadian industry globally.
