Abstract

V originále

The goal of this paper is to examine randomness sources available in current mobile phones or other mobile devices. We identify potential sources of randomness and perform an analysis focused on the camera and the microphone input noise as promising sources of randomness. We also perform statistical tests and analyse quality of these sources of randomness including estimation of entropy in the generated data.
