What is the most secure seed for random number generation?

Question

What are the most secure sources of entropy to seed a random number generator? This question is language and platform independent and applies to any machine on a network.

Answer 1

If you read into crypto-theory, it becomes apparent that the most secure seed would be one generated by a chaotic event. Throughout recent history, covert operations have made use of what is known as a "One-time pad" which is proven impossible to crack. Normally these are generated through an assortment of atmospheric listening posts scattered about the middle of nowhere. Atmospheric noise is sufficiently chaotic to be considered random. The main problem with this method is that the logistics for a one time pad are considerable.

My suggestion to you is to find a sufficiently chaotic event to somehow extract data from.
