10. A method for generating a true random number, comprising:
extracting a set of first random values from a first source of randomness using a multi-radix extractor;
extracting a set of second random values from a second source of randomness;
extracting a third set of random values by compositing the set of first random values and the set of second random values; and
providing the third set of random values as a true random number.
