ABSTRACT:
Methods, devices, and systems provide random number generation. Electrical characteristics of a processing device are sampled for statistically random values. The values are combined to produce random numbers. The random numbers are vended from the processing device for subsequent consumption by applications executing on or interfaced to the processing device.
