Abstract

The paper examines one of the approaches to ensuring the security of cryptographic systems by monitoring the generation of random numbers. Random numbers play a key role in cryptography, in particular for generating keys, initialization vectors, and other important cryptographic parameters. Unreliable or predictable random numbers can lead to successful attacks on cryptographic protocols, making generation monitoring critical to the security of systems. The paper proposes an automated monitoring system that utilizes statistical tests to check randomness, entropy level, and the presence of correlations between generated numbers. Particular attention is paid to researching methods of detecting anomalies and reacting to them in real-time. Furthermore, the paper examines the effect of limited entropy in resource-constrained devices like those used in the Internet of Things (IoT) and explores the application of machine learning to enhance the monitoring of random number generation. The results demonstrate that implementing the monitoring system significantly enhances the resilience of cryptographic systems against attacks targeting random number generation.
