Randomness sits at the heart of everything we do online. Many encryption algorithms depend upon randomly generated numbers to work, and that’s just one example of many. But how random is random? It’s ...

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 ...

QRNGs are expected to experience tremendous growth during the forecast period because they have an unparalleled capability to create genuinely random numbers based on quantum mechanics, offering the ...

A team of international scientists has developed a laser that can generate 254 trillion random digits per second, more than a hundred times faster than computer-based random number generators (RNG).

Lotteries, accidents and rolls of dice — the world around us is full of unpredictable events. Yet generating a truly random series of numbers for encryption has remained a surprisingly difficult task.

Quantum cybersecurity firm QuintessenceLabs (QLabs) has announced developing a full-entropy quantum random number generator (QRNG), by leveraging a "flaw" in diodes. QLabs said the flaw, a quantum ...

[Ian] had a need for a lot of random numbers. There are dozens of commercial offerings when it comes to RNGs, but there are also hundreds of different ways for an electronics hobbyist to shoot random ...
