Hybrid natural random number generator

A random signal source comprising

• signal generating means for producing a nondeterministic random-like binary sequence of signal states at a first rate, and
• first signal processing means, connected to receive the random-like binary sequence, for producing an output signal sequence having more even equiprobability of signal states than the nondeterministic random-like binary sequence and having its covariance reduced to essentially zero, said output sequence being produced at a second rate which is a fixed submultiple of said first rate.

A random signal generator comprising

• noise generating means for producing an analog noise signal,
• converting means for changing the analog noise signal into a nondeterministic random-like signal sequence having signal states occurring at a first rate, and
• processing means for producing another nondeterministic random sequence from the nondeterministic random-like signal sequence, the random sequence having a more uniform distribution of signal states and greater independence of signal state occurrence than the nondeterministic random-like signal sequence, said random sequence being produced at a second rate which is a fixed submultiple of said first rate.
