Project Netrand
Java internet random number generator
This project was started in Spring 1998. It's intent is to establish a
set of client-server programs which extract randomness from the net.
The easiest way to do it is to find things that have a 50-50 chance,
and test it, setting 1 random bit at a time. Do this 8 times and you
have 1 random byte of data.
The way we break the workload down is this:
The client programs do all the testing, and send 1 random byte to the
server at a time. The server keeps a bytepool, when you request a
random byte, it takes a number out of the pool and gives it to you. It
is possible that the server has no more random bytes in its data pool,
you will receive no random data in this case.
How do we know our numbers are as random as possible? We run extensive TESTS to make sure!
Our numbers score better on the tests than the unix random number
generator!
