In some embodiments, a method for generating a random bit is provided. The method includes generating a first random bit by providing a random number generator (RNG) signal to a magnetoresistive random-access memory (MRAM) cell. The RNG signal has a probability of about 0.5 to switch the resistive state of the MRAM cell from a first resistive state corresponding to a first data state to a second resistive state corresponding to a second data state. The first random bit is then read from the MRAM cell.
