Hardware Random Number Generator - ubld.it TrueRNG v3

[dbasnett]

Several weeks ago I purchased a Hardware Random Number Generator from ubld.it. Since then I have been working on a class that implements the device. This class should work on any serial port device that sends a steady stream of random numbers. To get the device to work I had to install this driver, http://ubld.it/wp-content/uploads/20...ws-Driver1.zip

If you don't have a device you can still use the random methods by instantiating the class with a buffer of random bytes.

            Private WithEvents TRNG As RandomTrueRNG

            Dim PRNG As New Random
            Dim byts((1024 * 1024 * 20) - 1) As Byte
            PRNG.NextBytes(byts)
            TRNG = New RandomTrueRNG(byts)

Before I had the device I used this to begin development. I modeled the Random methods on System.Random and added several of my own, like Next.Date.

Here is the class in a text file, as a link to my Google Drive. The class.

Let me know if you have a problem with it.

I have a demo app that I will post later. This is what it looks like.



Enjoy.
