Resource Title:LavaRnd: Truly Random Since 2000
Description:LavaRnd is an open source project that uses a chaotic source to generate truly random numbers. With applications in cryptography and encryption, the LavaRnd system involves taking a digital image of a chaotic process and filtering out structured data to obtain a non-repeatable series of numbers. A complete description of the system's implementation is given on the LavaRnd homepage. For people who are not interested in building their own random number generator or playing with the source code of LavaRnd algorithms, the Web site has a great deal of background information on random numbers in general. For example, an enlightening discussion of how the quality of a random number generator is tested is provided.
