Numbers that are truly random are hard to come by — even a roulette wheel's results can be predicted if you have the right information. But researchers have been able to find pure randomness ...

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.

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.

It’s a field that need not be expensive or difficult to work in, as [Henk Mulder] shows us with his 4-bit analogue random number generator.

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

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

Current methods of generating random numbers can produce predictable results. Researchers said the new method could generate higher-quality random numbers with less computer processing.

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

Professor Jooyoung Lee stated, "POSDRBG is a new deterministic random bit generator that improves both random number generation speed and security, making it applicable from small IoT devices to ...
