Scientists at NIST and the University of Colorado Boulder have created CURBy, a cutting-edge quantum randomness beacon that draws on the intrinsic unpredictability of quantum entanglement to produce ...

True random number generators (TRNGs) harness the inherent unpredictability of physical processes to produce random numbers crucial for cryptographic applications, secure communications, and various ...

Governments and public institutions handle vast amounts of sensitive data, and as cyber threats evolve, legacy encryption methods may become vulnerable. Our qStream Quantum Random Number Generator ...

When we first heard the term “random laser,” we did a double-take. After all, most ordinary sources of light are random. One defining characteristic of a traditional laser is that it emits coherent ...

Randomness is incredibly useful. People often draw straws, throw dice or flip coins to make fair choices. Random numbers can enable auditors to make completely unbiased selections. Randomness is also ...

Trust, but verify: Random number generation is a serious matter in modern computing. Most systems rely on a purely hardware-based approach to RNG, but the process is essentially impossible to verify ...

Whether it’s a game of D&D or encrypting top-secret information, a wide array of methods are available for generating the needed random numbers with high enough entropy for their use case. For a ...

Spotify may add two shuffle modes: Standard (true random) and Fewer Repeats (less likely to replay recent tracks). True random can repeat songs; Spotify avoids pure randomness so playback feels less ...

A new technical paper titled “In-DRAM True Random Number Generation Using Simultaneous Multiple-Row Activation: An Experimental Study of Real DRAM Chips” was published by researchers at ETH Zürich and ...
