That’s why we need a TRNG (True Random Number Generator), but that requires special hardware. Some high-end microprocessors are equipped with an internal hardware TRNG, but it is, unfortunately ...

The reaction of the lamps is unpredictable, and this allows them to generate really random numbers. [Joshua], a Cloudflare employee, talks about the technical details of the system in a recent ...

A new random number generator that uses a micro laser developed by researchers at NTU Singapore is a hundred times faster than computer-based systems.

But for random-number generation, researchers aim for the opposite. “We want the intensity to fluctuate randomly, so we can digitize the intensity to generate random numbers,” says Hui Cao, an ...

Random numbers are important for computer encryption, lotteries, scientific modelling, and gambling. Current methods of generating random numbers can produce predictable results.

If your name gets picked for jury duty, it’s because a computer used a random number generator to select it. The same goes for tax audits or when you opt for a quick pick lottery ticket. But how ...

Quantum physics can be exploited to generate true random numbers, which have important roles in many applications, especially in cryptography. Genuine randomness from the measurement of a quantum ...

April 26, 2005 Pi seems a good random number generator – but not always the best WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – If you wanted a random number, historically you could do worse than to pick a sequence from the ...
