Hi Toysoldier,

You could devote an entire career to this subject ... regardless, here

are a few resources I&#39;ve used in the past that may be helpful:

http://csrc.nist.gov/rng (http://csrc.nist.gov/rng) -- everything you wanted to know and more ;-)

http://www.embedded.com/showarticle.jhtml?...icleid=20900500 (http://www.embedded.com/showarticle.jhtml?articleid=20900500) -- nice article with some C code

http://www.opencores.org/projects.cgi/web/...ng_lib/overview (http://www.opencores.org/projects.cgi/web/rng_lib/overview) -- VHDL code

Hope this is helpful.

Regards,

--Scott
