Abstract
A random binary sequence generator for generating a random binary sequence adapted to be used for producing random numbers, includes at least one logic circuit corresponding to an associated finite-state machine having a state-transition function including states arranged to form cycles of states, wherein the at least one logic circuit has a set of logic circuit inputs and a set of logic circuit outputs fed back to the logic circuit inputs; the associated finite-state machine is autonomous and asynchronous; the state-transition function is void of loops; and any of the cycles of states has either a minimum length equal to three states, in case the cycle is stable, or a minimum length of two states, in case the cycle is meta-stable.
