There is http://rubyforge.org/projects/crypt-isaac

ISAAC is a cryptographically secure PRNG (the mersenne twister, which is 
what Ruby uses, produces quality streams of numbers, butis not 
cryptographically secure).

That is a pure Ruby implementation.  I have a version that has a C 
extension that I have been sitting on for quite some time.  I'll make some 
time today to get that version packaged and uploaded, though.
