On Random Number Generation for Kernel Applications. (arXiv:2204.06882v1 [cs.CR])

An operating system kernel uses cryptographically secure pseudorandom number
generator for creating address space localization randomization offsets to
protect memory addresses to processes from exploration, storing users' password
securely and creating cryptographic keys. The paper proposes a CSPRNG called
KCS-PRNG which produces non-reproducible bitstreams. The proposed KCS-PRNG
presents an efficient design uniquely configured with two new non-standard and
verified elliptic curves and clock-controlled linear feedback shift registers
and a novel method to consistently generate non-reproducible random bits of
arbitrary lengths. …
