FIELD: computer engineering.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to generation of random numbers. In main operating system computer entropy data are collected on basis of at least partially, each of one or more components of computer hardware. Entropy pool is updated based on at least partially assembled entropy of data and data from the entropy pool are provided guest operating system, performed as virtual engine of computing device. Guest operating system stores entropy pool of guest operating system, based on data from entropy pool provided by main operating system. Guest operating system accesses entropy pool of guest operating system and uses entropy pool of guest operating system as base for generation of values, including random numbers.
EFFECT: technical result is high efficiency of generating random numbers for virtual machines.
