Blueprint changed by Robert Arkenin:

Whiteboard set to:
I would, personally, capture mouse movements using an onmousemove event
to get the values of window.event.clientX and window.event.clientY, and
to feed said values into a SHA512 generator, taking the first 256 bits
for reasons of keeping a random pool unknown. This may be repeated along
the following algorithm:

1.Generate pseudo-random number
2.SHA512 it
3.XOR in mouse coordinates(repeating the same 32-bit integer of (65536*mouseX)+mouseY) upon a mouse movement
4. SHA512 again
5. Use 256 least-significant bits of last hashes (using as many hashes as necessary, but never revealing the most significant bits to keep  a pool unknown to attackers)
6. Upon finishing random data collection, keep said key made from last whatever hashes
