Abstract: In this letter, we propose and experimentally demonstrate a high-speed true random number generator (TRNG) by exploiting the probabilistic delay time of threshold switching (TS) in a unified ...

Eeny, meeny, miny, mo, catch a tiger by the toe – so the rhyme goes. But even children know that counting-out rhymes like this are no help at making a truly random choice. Perhaps you remember when ...

Since the very beginning, Mental Floss has been dedicated to dredging up fascinating facts from across a broad range of topics—we’ve covered everything from strange animal stories to weird historical ...

Abstract: We present a true random number generator (TRNG) using dark noise of a CMOS image sensor. Because the proposed TRNG is based on the dark characteristics of the CMOS image sensor, it does not ...

Adding numbers to your passwords makes them more secure. In fact, most sites and services these days require alphanumeric passwords at the very least. Some people ...
