    Abstract: An instruction configured to perform a plurality of functions is executed. Based on a function code associated with the instruction having a selected value, one or more inputs of the instruction are checked to determine which one or more functions of the plurality of functions are to be performed. Based on a first input of the one or more inputs having a first value, a function of providing raw entropy is performed, in which the providing of raw entropy includes storing a number of raw random numbers. Further, based on a second input of the one or more inputs having a second value, a function of providing conditioned entropy is provided, in which the providing of conditioned entropy includes storing a number of conditioned random numbers.
