  • Collecting entropy from diverse sources
    Patent number: 10489118
    Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for generating more random data or ensuring more random data than provided by single sources. Entropy is gathered among multiple random or pseudo-random sources at different frequencies. The entropy is pushed, pulled, or otherwise presented to a pseudo-random number generator when there is enough entropy. The determination of enough entropy can be through a modified Hamming distance. The frequencies of polling for entropy from the entropy sources can be jittered by a random amount.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 18, 2018
    Date of Patent: November 26, 2019
    Assignee: Oracle International Corporation
    Inventors: Paul Timothy Dale, P. Denis Gauthier
