If you are looking for a software based solution the OpenSSL PRNG library is good. There any many interesting software solutions for gathering seed for the PRNG as well, egd.pl will use a plethora of system information (on unix) to provide seed.
However hardware based entropy solutions are a better bet, Intel chipsets (810 and greater) have a built in hardware random number generator. Many unix distributions have /dev/urandom or /dev/random as well.

Is open ssl has such library. ( not pseudo random generations ) Is anyone know ?
