Abstract

The number generating method involves picking-up cosmic radio noise picked by an antenna (2) for forwarding to a tuned receiver (1) whose output is digitised (3) in a processor (4) contg. a threshold-level circuit (5) and a bit serialiser (6). The bit sequence is transmitted to a computer (7). To forestall any attempt to manipulate the selection of random numbers the tuning of the receiver is varied at irregular intervals within the range of wavelengths from about 0.26 to 50 cm, within the spectrum of the background noise. USE/ADVANTAGE - Any number of successive random numbers can be generated with complete independence of any pattern.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren und eine Vorrichtung zur Gewinnung einer beliebigen Anzahl von Zufallszahlen.The invention relates to a method and a device to get any number of random numbers.

Die Gewinnung von Zufallszahlen hat große praktische Be­ deutung. Beispielsweise müssen bei Meinungsforschungen die Befragten nach Zufallskriterien ausgewählt werden. Auch bei der Wettersimulation oder anderen Simulations­ vorgängen und bei der Verschlüsselung von Daten ist man auf Zufallszahlen angewiesen.Random number extraction has great practical utility interpretation. For example, in opinion polls the respondents are selected at random. Also with weather simulation or other simulations processes and when it comes to encrypting data rely on random numbers.

Bisher hat man Zufallszahlen mittels eines Computers nach bestimmten mathematischen Prinzipien ermittelt. Gemeinsam ist jedoch allen Systemen zur Ermittlung von Zufallszah­ len, daß nach einer sehr großen Anzahl von aufeinander­ folgenden Zahlen die ihrer Gewinnung zugrundeliegende ma­ thematische Gesetzmäßigkeit erkennbar wird. Man spricht deshalb von Pseudozufallszahlen.So far you have random numbers on a computer determined certain mathematical principles. Together however, is all random numbering systems len that after a very large number of each other following numbers the ma thematic regularity becomes recognizable. One speaks therefore from pseudo random numbers.

Der Erfindung liegt das Problem zugrunde, ein Verfahren zur Ermittlung von Zufallszahlen zu entwickeln, bei denen auch bei einer beliebig großen Anzahl von aufeinanderfol­ genden Zahlen keine Gesetzmäßigkeit eintritt. Weiterhin soll eine Vorrichtung zur Durchführung dieses Verfahrens geschaffen werden.The problem underlying the invention is a method to develop random numbers where even with any number of successive according to the relevant numbers. Farther is intended to be an apparatus for performing this method be created.

Das erstgenannte Problem wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch ge­ löst, daß die elektromagnetische Hintergrundstrahlung des Weltraumes empfangen und aus den zumindest einen Schwel­ lenwert übersteigenden Amplituden dieser Hintergrund­ strahlung eine Bit-Folge erzeugt wird. The first-mentioned problem is thereby ge according to the invention triggers that the electromagnetic background radiation of the Received space and from the at least a smolder amplitudes exceeding this value radiation a bit sequence is generated.  

Durch Heranziehung dieser Hintergrundstrahlung, welche auch 3°-Kelvin-Strahlung genannt wird, kann man aus Si­ gnalen, welche von einer unendlich großen Anzahl von Kör­ pern ausgehen, echte Zufallszahlen mit geringem Aufwand und in beliebig großer Anzahl gewinnen.By using this background radiation, which is also called 3 ° Kelvin radiation, you can from Si gnalen, which of an infinite number of Kör run out, real random numbers with little effort and win in any number.

Besonders vorteilhaft ist es, wenn zur Gewinnung aufein­ anderfolgender Bit-Folgen mehrere Schwellenwerte vorgese­ hen werden.It is particularly advantageous if one for extraction in the following bit sequences, several threshold values are read will be.

Wenn das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren bekannt geworden ist und Verbreitung gefunden hat, dann wäre es denkbar, daß zur bewußten Verfälschung der gewonnenen Zufallszahlen ein anderer im Frequenzbereich des Hintergrundrauschens Störsignale sendet. Eine solche Manipulation kann auf einfache Weise verhindert werden, wenn zur Gewinnung der Zufallszahlen in unregelmäßiger Reihenfolge unterschied­ liche Frequenzen der Hintergrundstrahlung berücksichtigt werden.When the method according to the invention has become known and spread, then it would be conceivable that for deliberately falsifying the random numbers obtained another in the frequency range of the background noise Sends interference signals. Such manipulation can occur on easily prevented when extracting the Random numbers differ in irregular order frequencies of the background radiation are taken into account will.

Das zweitgenannte Problem, nämlich die Schaffung einer Vorrichtung zur Durchführung des Verfahrens zur Gewinnung einer großen Anzahl von Zufallszahlen, wird erfindungsge­ mäß dadurch gelöst, daß die Vorrichtung einen Empfänger für eine Hintergrundstrahlung im Bereich von etwa 3° Kel­ vin, einen nachgeschalteten Prozessor mit einem Analog/Digital- Wandler, einer Schwellenwertschaltung und einer Bit-Anreihung zur Umwandlung der Digitalsignale in eine Bit-Folge aufweist.The second problem, namely the creation of a Apparatus for carrying out the extraction process a large number of random numbers, is fiction moderately solved in that the device has a receiver for a background radiation in the range of about 3 ° Kel vin, a downstream processor with an analog / digital Converter, a threshold circuit and one Bit sequence for converting the digital signals into a Has bit sequence.

Die Erfindung ist für den Elektroniker sehr einfach aus­ führbar. Zu ihrer weiteren Verdeutlichung wird nachfol­ gend auf die Zeichnung Bezug genommen. Diese zeigt inThe invention is very simple for the electronics engineer feasible. To clarify this further, referring to the drawing. This shows in

Fig. 1 ein Diagramm, welches die Amplitude des Hintergrundrauschens über die Zeit zeigt, Fig. 1 is a diagram showing the amplitude of the background noise over time,

Fig. 2 ein Blockdiagramm der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung. Fig. 2 is a block diagram of the device according to the invention.

In Fig. 1 ist die y-Achse übereinander in achtzehn Be­ reiche abwechselnd mit 0 und 1 eingeteilt. Die eingetra­ gene Linie zeigt die Amplitude einer ausgewählten Fre­ quenz des Hintergrundrauschens. Die x-Achse ist in 37 Meßbereiche eingeteilt. Man erkennt, wie aufgrund der zu­ fällig wechselnden Amplitude duale Zahlen für die Bit- Folge gewonnen werden können.In Fig. 1, the y-axis is divided into eighteen areas alternately with 0 and 1 Be. The entered line shows the amplitude of a selected frequency of the background noise. The x-axis is divided into 37 measuring ranges. It can be seen how dual numbers can be obtained for the bit sequence on the basis of the amplitude which is due to change.

Das Blockschaltbild gemäß Fig. 2 zeigt einen als Radio­ wellenempfänger ausgebildeten Empfänger 1 mit einer An­ tenne 2. Dieser Empfänger 1, der auf die Frequenz der Hintergrundstrahlung des Weltalls eingestellt ist, gibt die empfangenen Amplituden an einen Analog/Digital-Wand­ ler 3 eines Prozessors 4 weiter. Eine Schwellenwertschal­ tung 5 ermittelt daraus binäre Zahlen, welche in einer Bit-Anreihung 6 zu Bit-Folgen aneinandergereiht werden. Diese Bit-Folgen werden an einen Computer 7 übertragen.The block diagram of FIG. 2 shows a wave receiver as a radio receiver 1 configured with an antenna 2 at. This receiver 1 , which is set to the frequency of the background radiation from space, transmits the received amplitudes to an analog / digital converter 3 of a processor 4 . A threshold circuit 5 determines binary numbers therefrom, which are strung together in a bit sequence 6 to form bit sequences. These bit sequences are transmitted to a computer 7 .

Um eventuellen Manipulationen der Auswahl der Zufalls­ zahlen vorzubeugen, ändert der Prozessor 4 in unregel­ mäßigen Abständen die Empfangsfrequenz. Da die Hinter­ grundstrahlung nicht auf einen engen Bereich begrenzt ist, können sich die Empfangsfrequenzen etwa zwischen 50 cm und 0,26 cm Wellenlänge bewegen.In order to prevent any manipulation of the selection of the random numbers, the processor 4 changes the reception frequency at irregular intervals. Since the background radiation is not limited to a narrow range, the reception frequencies can range between 50 cm and 0.26 cm wavelength.
