Wouldn't it be ppossible to apply the Mafia-numbers-game solution? i.e. For your numbers (or seed for a large volume of numbers) take a random pubically accessible number like the last 3 digits of the attendance of a sporting event.

I have never seen any formalizations, but that type of number should be as close to totally random as possible.

How do you know that these numbers aren't already in use as a code system, under the control of someone who may not have your interests at heart?
