Abstract
The present invention teaches a method of generating a plurality of random numbers is disclosed. The method comprises the initial step of generating chaotic noise. Subsequently, the chaotic noise is sampled such that a plurality of samples are created. Each sample of the plurality of samples is then converted into digital data such that each converted sample corresponds with a random number of the plurality of random numbers.
Claims29
A method for generating a plurality of random numbers, the method comprising the steps of:
- generating naturally occurring chaotic noise;
- sampling said chaotic noise such that a plurality of samples are created;
- and
- converting each sample of said plurality into a digital data set such that each converted sample of said plurality corresponds with a random number of the plurality of random numbers.
A process for generating a plurality of secure random numbers, the process comprising:
- generating chaotic noise from turbulent air flow;
- sampling said chaotic noise such that a plurality of samples are created;
- converting each recorded sample of said plurality into digital data set such that each converted sample of said plurality corresponds with a random number of the plurality of random numbers;
- shuffling said digital data set of each converted sample of said plurality such that correlations between converted samples of said plurality are obscured;
- compressing each shuffled sample of said plurality such that the each random number of the plurality has an equal probability of being generated;
- and
- one way encrypting each compressed sample of said plurality such that said digital data set is prevented from being ascertained.
A system for generating a plurality of random numbers, the system comprising:
- a chaotic noise generator for generating chaotic noise;
- a sampling device for sampling said chaotic noise such that a plurality of samples are created;
- a digitizer for converting each sample of said plurality into a digital data set;
- and
- a computer for shuffling said digital data set of each converted sample of said plurality, for compressing said digital of said each converted sample of said plurality, and for one way encrypting said digital data set of each converted sample of said plurality, such that each converted sample of said plurality corresponds with a random number of the plurality of random numbers.
