And thusly Paul Koning spake:
Random number generators are built in to most crypto chips these days;
they work starting from the noise generated by some simple electronic
circuits. Then any biases are taken out by post-processing, for
example by running the bitstream through a cryptographic hash.
I will just use a sensor in a cup of hot tea... ;)
