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 exotic ...

A new approach to generating truly random numbers could lead to improved Internet security and better weather forecasts, according to researchers. A new approach to generating truly random numbers ...

Random number generation is a key part of cybersecurity and encryption, and it is applied to many apps used in everyday life, both for business and leisure. These numbers help create unique keys, ...

You indirectly use random numbers online every day—to establish secure connections, to encrypt data, perhaps even to satisfy your gambling problem. But their ubiquity belies the fact that they’re ...

Want to add a little unpredictability to your Python code? The random module is the quickest way to do it. From generating numbers and shuffling lists to simulating real-world randomness, it's one of ...

Skyrmions, tiny magnetic anomalies that arise in two-dimensional materials, can be used to generate true random numbers useful in cryptography and probabilistic computing. Whether for use in ...

Last year, when I attended the European Conference on Lasers and Electrooptics, one of the "big things" was "chaotic laser oscillators for security purposes." The basic idea is that chaotic systems ...

(Nanowerk News) True random numbers are required in fields as diverse as slot machines and data encryption. These numbers need to be truly random, such that they cannot even be predicted by people ...

“This is a marvelous step” toward more efficient random number generation, says Rajarshi Roy, a physicist at the University of Maryland in College Park who was not involved in the work. Random number ...

A new method for computer-generating random numbers is being called "remarkable", and could help improve computer security. Random numbers are important for computer encryption, lotteries, scientific ...
