In this paper we explore pseudo-random number generation on the IBM 4758 Secure Crypto
Coprocessor. In particular we compare several variants of Gennaro's provably secure
generator, proposed at Crypto 2000, with more standard techniques based on the SHA-1
compression function. Our results show how the presence of hardware support for modular
multiplication and exponentiation affects these algorithms.
