Look for blum-blum-shub-strong-randgen.shar and related files in
pub/crypt/other at ripem.msu.edu. (This site is chock-full of good
stuff.)
Of course, only Americans are allowed to use these random number
generators, and even they face fines of $500,000 and imprisonment for
up to 5 years for inappopriate use of random numbers.
