I have just made my own program to encipher, using AES in counter mode, and have validated it using NIST data. So I know I have done it properly.

I have read that AES-CTR can produce a stream of random numbers. To achieve this, what do I feed in as the plaintext? Will any text do? Does it matter if the plaintext has repetitions?

How do I produce a stream of secure random numbers from AES-Counter mode?
