Abstract
Methods and systems for producing random numbers include a random number generator with a first port and a second port. The first port is configured to receive a first type of random data request, and the random number generator is configured to generate first random data while the first type of request is asserted on the first port. The second port is configured to receive a second type of random data request, and the random number generator is configured to generate only a specified length of second random data in response to receiving the second type of request on the second port. An embodiment of a system also includes a data structure configured to store multiple random values, which are derived from the first random data generated by the random number generator in response to the first type of random data request.
