Not complete, but this encyclopedia article has some links: http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/Random_number#Random_sequences_from_physical_phenomena It is a wiki so if you can improve it, please do. No doubt Wikipedia has a list as well. All the usual crypto texts have chapters on it, too. -- Sandy Harris, Quanzhou, Fujian, China --------------------------------------------------------------------- The Cryptography Mailing List Unsubscribe by sending "unsubscribe cryptography" to majord...@metzdowd.com
