Abstract
Provided are a true random number generator and an oscillator. The random number generator includes an oscillator configured to output signals and oscillate a random number of times until phases of the signals being output are inverted with respect to each other after initialization, and a counter configured to count the number of oscillations. The counted number of oscillations is used as a seed for generating a random number.
