Whether it’s a game of D&D or encrypting top-secret information, a wide array of methods are available for generating the needed random numbers with high enough entropy for their use case. For a ...

Computers struggle to create randomness, but a new approach may finally enable them to generate a truly random number. Such numbers are a vital ingredient for cryptographic algorithms and scientific ...

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 ...

"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links." A new network paradigm can generate meaningfully random numbers—and fast. In network encryption, ...

A team including CU PREP researchers and scientists from CU Boulder and NIST have built the first random number generator using quantum entanglement to produce verifiable random numbers. Dubbed CURBy, ...

God, Albert Einstein famously declared, does not play dice. It’s a pithy statement, but a revealing one: to the famously genius physicist, true randomness – and the new quantum framework that ...
