A large team of scientists says they’ve achieved “certified randomness” using a quantum computer. In a classical computer, ...

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

It is very hard to get truly random numbers, but for a lot of cases, it isn’t that important. Even better, if you programming or using a scripting language, there are lots of things that you can ...

While working towards his Computing and Information Systems degree at the University of London, [Jason Fenech] submitted an interesting proposal for generating random numbers using nothing more ...

Modern applications rely on surprisingly complex mathematical algorithms to produce the randomness we take for granted.
