Abstract
A random number generation system may generate one or more random numbers based on the repeated programming of a memory, such as a flash memory. As an example, a control system may repeatedly store a sequence to a block of flash memory to force a plurality of cells into a random state such that, at any given instant, the values in the cells may be random. The control system may identify which of the cells contain random values and then generate based on the identified values a number that is truly random.
