Finally, for encryption purposes, the researchers tested out just how random their strings of binary code actually were. They tested their crystal-enabled random number generator against a ...

Feel free to share your theories on the best random number generator designs below, or send your best builds straight to the tipsline. Randomly, of course!

But the random number generator they built was, they reasoned, still useful. So Haahr made it public at random.org, where it has been churning out random numbers ever since.

A new laser’s chaotic light beam lets the device generate multiple number sequences at once, similar to throwing multiple dice at a time.

Random number generator 'improved' 17 May 2016 Thinkstock Computers have trouble generating truly random numbers - but a new method could help ...

Researchers demonstrate random-number generation by exploiting the intrinsic randomness of vacuum states. The approach may lead to reliable and high-speed quantum random-number generators for ...

According to this post on the official V8 Javascript blog, the pseudo-random number generator (PRNG) that V8 Javascript uses in Math.random() is horribly flawed and getting replaced with something … ...
