Abstract
Embodiments include method, systems and computer program products for providing entropy to generate random numbers.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method for providing entropy to generate random numbers comprising:
- receiving, by a processor of an entropy server, a first data from a first sensor;
- receiving, by the processor, a second data from a second sensor;
- generating a first piece of entropy data based at least in part on a combination of the first data and the second data;
- based on a determination that the first piece of entropy data exceeds a randomness threshold, providing the first piece of entropy data to a server via a dedicated communication link between the entropy server and the server.
1 more element
A computer program product comprising a non-transitory storage medium readable by a processing circuit and storing instructions for execution by the processing circuit for performing a method comprising:
- receiving, by a processor of an entropy server, a first data from a first sensor;
- receiving, by the processor, a second data from a second sensor;
- generating a first piece of entropy data based at least in part on a combination of the first data and the second data;
- based on a determination that the first piece of entropy data exceeds a randomness threshold, providing the first piece of entropy data to a server via a dedicated communication link between the entropy server and the server.
1 more element
An entropy server for providing entropy to generate random numbers, comprising:
- a processor in communication with one or more types of memory, the processor configured to:
- receive a first data from a first sensor;
- receive a second data from a second sensor;
- generate a first piece of entropy data based at least in part on a combination of the first data and the second data;
- based on a determination that the first piece of entropy data exceeds a randomness threshold, provide the first piece of entropy data to a server via a dedicated communication link between the entropy server and the server.
