GENERATING CRYPTOGRAPHIC RANDOM DATA FROM RAW RANDOM DATA

Abstract:

A device may store raw random data in a raw random data store. The raw random data may include a first plurality of data strings. The device may generate, using a quotient ring transform (QRT), cryptographic random data based on the raw random data. The cryptographic random data includes a second plurality of data strings that is transformed from the first plurality of data strings based on an extraction state stored in an extraction state store. The device may store the cryptographic random data in a cryptographic random data store and may use the cryptographic random data for various purposes.
