In computing, a hardware random number generator, true random number generator, non-deterministic random bit generator, or physical random number generator is a device that generates random numbers from a physical process capable of producing entropy, unlike the pseudorandom number generator that utilizes a deterministic algorithm and non-physical nondeterministic random bit generators that do not include hardware dedicated to generation of entropy.
