Abstract
A data processing system includes data storage that stores an operating system and an application that performs a security operation and a processor communicatively coupled with the data storage and a random number generator separate from the operating system. The processor executes the operating system and the application. The processor receives a random number from the random number generator and provides the received random number to the application for use in the security operation.
