If you want to start an argument in certain circles, claim to have a random number generation algorithm. Turns out that producing real random numbers is hard, which is why people often turn to strange ...

True random number generators (TRNGs) harness the inherent unpredictability of physical processes to produce random numbers crucial for cryptographic applications, secure communications, and various ...

Researchers at Japan’s Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation (NTT) have built a quantum random number generator (QRNG) that delivers random bits periodically with high speed and is robust against ...

Using a single, chip-scale laser, scientists have managed to generate streams of completely random numbers at about 100 times the speed of the fastest random-numbers generator systems that are ...

In a new paper in Nature, a team of researchers from JPMorganChase, Quantinuum, Argonne National Laboratory, Oak Ridge National Laboratory and The University of Texas at Austin describe a milestone in ...

Whether generating random device addresses, strengthening encryption algorithms or creating individual product keys, it is increasingly important to generate random numbers reliably. These random ...

A team that included researchers at a US bank says it has created a protocol that can generate certified truly random numbers, opening the possibility that current generation quantum computers can be ...

Scientists have generated a huge true random number using DNA synthesis. It is the first time that a number of this magnitude has been created by biochemical means. True random numbers are required in ...

Chip-based device paves the way for scalable and secure random number generation, an essential building block for future digital infrastructure Chip-based device paves the way for scalable and secure ...

In 2019, the "blockchain bandits" were able to steal over $54 million in cryptocurrency thanks to the predictability of "random" number generation. While the probability of guessing a randomly ...
