Disclosed is a method of generating a random number. The method starts by providing a user input means, such as a touch screen or an accelerometer, on an apparatus. The user generates random numerical data from user input. The apparatus then calculates the random quality of the inputs and the resultant random number. The apparatus then displays the random quality of the inputs to the user. The method may indicate to the user when the random number is satisfactory, and the means for the random quality may be a pattern recognition program. The random number may be generated by putting the user input into a hash algorithm. The random number may be used in an encryption algorithm. The method may be used to generate the same random number in at least two apparatus by holding them together, possibly using a holding device such as a rack or box. |
