This isn’t the first random-ish number generator that we’ve seen use shift registers. But if you’re looking for something that might actually pass some randomness checks, ...

For example, it would be better to use a random-number generator that produces a sequence of zeros, ones, and twos and then ignores the zeros to give a sequence of just ones and twos.

In the Swiss experiment, the camera was used to create a 1.25 Gbit/s stream of random numbers. One worry about any random-number generator is that the numbers could be influenced in a predictable way ...

For example, traditional computers may create encryption based on the result of multiplying two large prime numbers together, generating a seemingly random number.

Fast quantum random number generator could advance cryptography on the cheap. According to Jun Zhang, a physicist at Hefei and a co-author of the research published in Applied Physics Letters, the ...

Random numbers: Hard times ahead for hackers Date: May 31, 2017 Source: Université de Genève Summary: Whenever we need to communicate in secret, a cryptographic key is needed.

Using a single, chip-scale laser, scientists have managed to generate streams of completely random numbers at about 100 times the speed of the fastest random-numbers generator systems that are ...
