Low-throughput RNG should be a must for IoT. Certainly in our environment devices that are unable to generate keys would be unacceptable. Hopefully we won’t codify such an abomination in any protocol.

Hi Paul,

My understanding from reading the draft text was that the "cost" was actually talking about "energy cost" rather than "monetary cost".
The monetary cost may also be interesting.

It is difficult to judge the extra cost of a RNG in an MCU because
(a) you rarely find an MCU with and without MCU (keeping all other features the same),
(b) even if you find one there are other factors that impact the cost (such as popularity of a particular MCU),
(c) RNG features are often provided with other features (such as SHA256 and AES in hardware), and
(d) cost and price of an MCU are different aspects.

Ciao
Hannes

Strong agreement. The added cost for hw based RNG is ever decreasing. Last time I checked it was on the order of 50 cents @ Q 10k? It has likely fallen since. Confirm with Atmel etc.

Cheers
