ABSTRACT:
A random number generator is shown with a two phase operation, the two phases operating to increase the measured randomness of the numbers generated at very little additional cost. The first phase of operation uses conventional techniques to generate an intermediate random number. This intermediate random number is then used by the second phase to generate two potential final random numbers. One of these is picked to be the resultant random number based on whether a specified bit of the intermediate random number is set.
