Patent abstract
A method and a device generate a truly random number. The novel method obtains the true random number on the basis of a stochastically distributed duration of an electric charge exchange or charge reversal process. The processes for charge exchange in memory cells, for example the EEPROM or FLASH memory cells, carried out by way of a charge pump are particularly suitable for this purpose.
