Abstract:
Methods, systems, and computer programs for generating cryptographic function parameters are described. In some examples, astronomical data from an observed astronomical event is obtained. A pseudorandom generator is seeded based on the astronomical data. After seeding the pseudorandom generator, an output from the pseudorandom generator is obtained. A parameter for a cryptographic function is generated by operation of one or more data processors. The parameter is generated from the output from the pseudorandom generator.
