Random number generation is a key part of cybersecurity and encryption, and it is applied to many apps used in everyday life, both for business and leisure.

[Karl] was in need of a hardware random number generator, but is needs had a few caveats: it needed to be cheap, and sufficiently random. Random number generation can get quite crazy with Geiger ...

There’s no cheating this random number generator The protocol ensures jury duty selections and other draws are truly random and secure ...

The team's quantum computing method is able to not only generate these incredibly long, highly random numbers, but can also generate them in a reasonable amount of time.

In the Swiss experiment, the camera was used to create a 1.25 Gbit/s stream of random numbers. One worry about any random-number generator is that the numbers could be influenced in a predictable way ...

A new laser’s chaotic light beam lets the device generate multiple number sequences at once, similar to throwing multiple dice at a time.

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 ...

Random numbers are crucial for computing, but our current algorithms aren’t truly random. Researchers at Brown University have now found a way to tap into the fluctuations of quasiparticles to ...

For that you’ll need a true random number generator (RNG), and this open-source hardware RNG uses one of the better methods we’ve seen.
