Method and Apparatus for Generating Random Numbers

A method for generating a random number with nRND bits BRi includes providing, in a memory, a static bit table (BFT) with mBFT addressable bits BTj, where 0 j mBFT−1. The static bit table contains an equal number of "0" bits and "1" bits in a random distribution. In addition, for a bit BRi of said random number with 1 i nRND, the method further includes generating, by a processor, an address FA in the range between 0 and mBFT−1, selecting, by the processor, the bit BTFA having the address FA from said static bit table, and setting, by the processor, said bit BRi of said random number to equal said bit BTFA from said static bit table (BRi=BTFA).
