What they have created is an algorithm which ensures that seemingly random numbers really are as random as they look. “We believe, and our paper proves, that in quantum experiments much more ...

"Encryption methodology actually makes use of random numbers in order to secure that information," said Travis Humble.

According to this post on the official V8 Javascript blog, the pseudo-random number generator (PRNG ... For the last six years, the algorithm that’s been used has been pretty horrible.

A joint team of researchers led by scientists at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) and King ...

"Strictly speaking, an algorithm does not produce a truly random number," Fischbach said ... What we wanted to find out, in essence, was whether the points derived from pi's digits generate an ...

Random number generators are key parts of computer software, but technically they don’t quite live up to their name. Algorithms that generate these numbers are still deterministic, meaning that ...

the algorithm contains a weakness that can ... If you know the secret numbers, you can predict the output of the random-number generator after collecting just 32 bytes of its output.
