Peter Bierhorst’s machine is no pinnacle of design. Nestled in the Rocky Mountains inside a facility for the National Institute of Standards and Technology, the photon-generating behemoth spans an ...

Sometimes you need random numbers — and properly random ones, at that. Hackaday Alum [Sean Boyce] whipped up a rig that serves up just that, tasty random bytes delivered fresh over MQTT. [Sean] tells ...

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, ...

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).

Random bit or number generators (RBGs) are crucial in Monte-Carlo simulation 1, stochastic modelling 2, the generation of classical and quantum cryptographic keys and the random initialization of ...

Random number generators are hugely significant in the modern age, and yet most of us don’t even realize they’re present or notice their impact on our everyday lives. The role of RNG is so ...
