ABSTRACT:
Methods and systems are disclosed for generating random numbers and initial vectors. A random number generator generates one or more random numbers that are used to repetitively seed pseudo random number generators so that the pseudo random number generators generate random numbers. Thus, a single random number generator may be used to simultaneously generate several random numbers. The random numbers generated by the pseudo random number generators may be used as initial vectors in encryption engines.
