Cryptographic systems and methods for modification of pools of truly random numbers

A system configured for performing cryptographic procedures, comprising:

• a computing system, comprising:
• memory configured to store a Random Number (RN) pool, the RN pool comprising key data elements of truly random numbers in a pool of individually addressable files supplied by a RN provider;
• and
• processing circuitry operably coupled to the memory and configured for performing computing instructions to:
• receive computing instructions for one or more user-identified randomization processes configured for control by a key consumer associated with the computing system;
• and
• perform a user-specific modification of the RN pool using the one or more user-identified randomization processes to modify the RN pool to produce a variation to the RN pool such that the key data elements are used in a customized state unknown to the RN provider, wherein the customized state comprises at least one of a difference in number, a difference in order, or a difference in values of the key data elements as supplied by the RN provider, wherein at least one of the one or more user-identified randomization processes comprises modifying one or more of the elements in the RN pool with a pre-defined warping function comprising one of:
• a stream cipher modification wherein each key data element of the RN pool is modified by a pre-determined value for that key data element:
• or
• a block cipher modification wherein each block of key data elements of the RN pool is modified by a pre-determined block encryption process.

• and
• second processing circuitry operably coupled to the second memory and configured for performing computing instructions to:
• receive from the RN provider the one or more user-identified randomization processes configured for control by a key consumer associated with the second computing system;
• perform the user-specific modification of the RN pool using the one or more user-identified randomization processes to modify the RN pool to produce a sequence of receive key data elements unknown to the RN provider and such that the sequence of receive key data elements matches the sequence of transmit key data elements;
• receive the encrypted data stream;
• and
• combine the sequence of receive key data elements with the encrypted data stream using a decryption operation to produce a received clear text stream.

A computer-implemented method for performing cryptographic procedures, comprising:

• providing, for storage on a computing system, a Random Number (RN) pool, the RN pool comprising key data elements of truly random numbers in a pool of individually addressable files supplied by a RN provider;
• and
• providing one or more user-identified randomization processes to the computing system, the one or more user-identified randomization processes configured for control by a key consumer associated with the computing system and configured to modify the RN pool with a user-specific modification to produce a variation to the RN pool such that the key data elements are used in a customized state unknown to the RN provider, wherein the customized state comprises a difference in number, a difference in order, a difference in values, or combinations thereof of the key data elements as supplied by the RN provider, wherein at least one of the one or more user-identified randomization processes comprises modifying one or more of the elements in the RN pool with a pre-defined warping function comprising one of:
• a stream cipher modification wherein each key data element of the RN pool is modified by a pre-determined value for that key data element;
• or
• a block cipher modification wherein each block of key data elements of the RN pool is modified by a pre-determined block encryption process.
