ABSTRACT:
An integer for a private key is generated utilising a pair of components that are combined in a fixed predictable manner. The first component is generated from a sequencer such as a counter that generates non-repeating distinct value and the second component is generated in a random manner. By combining the components the integer has a unique and unpredictable value.
