MUMBAI, India, Jan. 2 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202541122180 A) filed by Vellore Institute Of Technology, Vellore, Tamil Nadu, on Dec. 4, 2025, for 'multi-source entropy mixing pseudorandom number generator.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. Sunija. A. P; Shashank Anand; and Anirban Saha.
The application for the patent was published on Jan. 2, under issue no. 01/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present disclosure provides a method for generating cryptographically secure pseudorandom numbers. The method includes collecting entropy data from multiple independent entropy sources including operating system randomness, cryptographic library functions, high-resolution system time, and real-time audio input. The collected entropy data is combined and a cryptographic hash function is applied to generate a secure seed. A pseudorandom number generator is initialized with the secure seed and pseudorandom output sequences are generated. A generation count is monitored and reseeding is automatically triggered when reaching a predetermined threshold by collecting new entropy data. The system comprises an entropy collection module configured to collect entropy data, an entropy mixing module configured to combine data and apply SHA-256 hashing, a pseudorandom number generation module comprising a Mersenne Twister algorithm initialized with the secure seed, and a reseeding module."
