ABSTRACT:
Disclosed are systems and methods for seeding a random number generator, comprising retrieving a first data block from a memory; initially seeding the random number generator using the first data block as a seed; retrieving a number generated by the random number generator; mapping the number to a memory address in the memory using a mathematical function; retrieving a successive data block from the memory address; and successively seeding the random number generator with a combination of the seed and the successive data block such that the combination of the seed and the successive data block becomes a resulting seed.
