Generation of random bits with accurate and reproducible statistical properties

The generation of "accurate" random bits is the key problem of the techniques which use random numbers. First the author establishes the accuracy requirements of a random bit generator for serial and parallel number generation. Then known methods are shown to be unsatisfactory for accurate applications. An accurate bit generator is proposed which provides a binary variable with equiprobable values within a 10
^-4
to 10
^-5
accuracy range.
