Abstract
A system and method for providing non-deterministic data for processes executed by non-synchronized processor elements of a fault resilient system is discussed. The steps of the method comprise receiving a request for getting non-deterministic data from a requesting processor element; assigning non-deterministic data generated by an entropy source to the request; and supplying the non-deterministic data assigned to the request, to the requesting processor element.
