Zusammenfassung:In one set of embodiments, a computer system can initialize a counter that is shared by a plurality of software processes, where each software process is programmed to increment the counter a predefined number of times. The computer system can further run the plurality of software processes concurrently. Upon completion of the plurality of software processes, the computer system can apply one or more functions to the shared counter and output the result as an entropy sample.
