Claim 8:
9. A random number generation circuit, comprising:
a communication interface configured to receive at least two server specific strings from at least two servers of a group of at least two servers within a network; and
a combination circuit configured to generate a server specific secret for each of the at least two servers of the group based on the server specific string received from each of the at least two servers of the group such that at least two server specific secrets are generated for the at least two servers of the group, combine the at least two server specific secrets or server specific strings to generate a seed value for a random number generator, and generate a random number using the seed value,
wherein the group of servers are selected such that network routes to the servers within the group do not intersect.
