ABSTRACT:
Some demonstrative embodiments of the invention include a method, apparatus and system of generating a random number. A random number generator may include, for example, a plurality of different random-number-generation modules adapted to generate random bits at a plurality of bit paths; and a combiner adapted to combine the bits of the plurality of paths. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
