Sumario:The aim of this work is to assess the possibility of generating random numbers at hardware level using SPADs working under dark conditions. The scope of this work is mainly theoretical, and its motivation is to explore the different available techniques that allow the extraction of random sequences based on SPADs. This work is structured in two well differentiated parts. In the first part, concepts related to randomness and entropy are introduced and different techniques of entropy extraction are described. Different types and classification of random number generators are also described in this first part. The second part of this work is devoted to the study of the statistics and different digitalization strategies of the randomness generated by a SPAD under dark conditions. As part of this study, two software tools that have been developed within the framework of this work to allow the modeling, representation and digitalization of synthetic series of avalanche pulses originated in the SPAD are presented.
