There’s no cheating this random number generator The protocol ensures jury duty selections and other draws are truly random and secure ...

A perfectly provable random number generator is the bedrock of good cryptography. This scientist wants to make one.

The company needed some truly random numbers for its security solutions, so it turned to some groovy old tech: lava lamps. In their office is a wall of 100 lava lamps monitored by cameras.

That means that even if some enemy understands everything about how the random number generator works, they still can’t predict the outcome.

While the outcome is always random when measuring a single particle, a pair’s properties are more correlated than classical physics dictates.

Even if a random number generator used seemingly random processes in nature, it would be hard to verify that those numbers are truly random, Shalm added.
