Here is a list of the FIPS-approved random number generators: http://csrc.nist.gov/groups/ST/toolkit/random_number.html NIST Special Publication 800-90 provides recommendations for "deterministic random bit generators" (not sure why they chose to use "DRBG" instead of "PRNG") based on hash functions, block ciphers, and number theoretic problems (speculation exists that the latter contains a back door).
