Abstract
Methods and an apparatus for generating random numbers are disclosed. In a first embodiment, a method for generating random numbers involves producing a second random number. A pseudorandom number is produced from a digital random number generator and a first random number is produced from an analog random number generator. The first random number is combined with the pseudorandom number to produce a second random number that is a result of both generators' outputs
