The method used to generate the digits, a pair of 555 timers sending pulses through linear-feedback shift registers, would at best be considered pseudo-random.

The self-testing quantum random number generator will allow the security of passwords and cryptographic protocols to be increased yet another notch.

Many processes for producing these keys — such as the random number generator that's probably on your computer right now — use an algorithm that spits out a seemingly arbitrary string of numbers.

That means that even if some enemy understands everything about how the random number generator works, they still can’t predict the outcome.

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

Researchers have developed a new random numbers generator based on the principles of quantum physics, complicating the tasks of hackers who can no longer expl ...

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.

Researchers from UNIGE have developed a new random numbers generator based on the principles of quantum physics. This physical theory shows that certain physical events occur perfectly at random ...
