I know of a US company which makes a "black box" which plugs into a
parallel port and which uses thermal noise to generate good random
numbers at a rate of 10 Kbit/s -- I think the box sells for $200.
Even though it's a while since I had interest in electronics at this
level, I would think that building something which exploits thermal
noise to get good random numbers shouldn't be all that difficult
(nice hobby project ;-).
