I am currently playing around with some learning project ideas and this is one of them.
Is there a need for a cryptographically secure true random number API?
My understanding is that you cannot use mathematics to generate random numbers. Somewhere in there you need a quantum process. However that is not hard, just point your camera phone out the window at the clouds.<p>The problem I see with this is, suppose I hash a picture of the sky down to just one bit. Can I count on my hash evenly dividing between one and zero, without any bias?
