It’s quantum, it’s chaotic, it makes for a great source for a random number generator, and there are already dozens of prototype circuits around the Internet.

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 ...

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 ...

What does random number generator actually mean? Find out inside PCMag's comprehensive tech and computer-related encyclopedia.

Researchers have built the fastest random-number generator ever made, using a simple laser. It exploits fluctuations in the intensity of light to generate randomness—a coveted resource in ...
