ABSTRACT:
A microprocessor with multiple random bit generators is disclosed. The multiple random bit generators each generate a stream of random bits. One of the streams of random bits is selected to be used to accumulate into random bytes for provision to application programs. Which of the multiple random bit generator random bit streams is selected is determined by a selection value stored in a control register of the microprocessor. The selection value is programmable by an instruction executed by the microprocessor.
