The foundation of the research lies in the principles of optical quantum randomness, where the probabilistic nature of photon detection at a beam splitter forms the core mechanism. Historically, ...

From a post Ultra Fast Pseudorandom number generator for 8-bit by EternityForest (Dec 31, 2011) with additional edits by jeblad (Nov 20, 2025). This is a small pseudorandom number generator (PRNG), ...

AMD has officially confirmed a high-severity security vulnerability in its new Zen 5–based CPUs, and it’s a nasty one because it hits cryptography right at the source: the hardware random number ...

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 ...

Prime numbers are sometimes called math’s “atoms” because they can be divided by only themselves and 1. For two millennia, mathematicians have wondered if the prime numbers are truly random, or if ...

Chip-based device paves the way for scalable and secure random number generation, an essential building block for future digital infrastructure Chip-based device paves the way for scalable and secure ...

A Virginia woman won big at the Powerball lottery — using numbers picked by OpenAI’s ChatGPT, according to The New York Post, in a story that’s only possible in the 21st Century. “I’m like, ChatGPT, ...

If you’ve ever shuffled a deck of playing cards, you’ve most likely created a unique deck. That is, you’re probably the only person who has ever arranged the cards in precisely that order. Although ...

Abstract: This letter presents a fully digital true random number generator (TRNG) and noise generator (NG) based on a chaos system. We design the chaos random number generator (CRNG) using the ...

MEMPHIS, Tenn. - A three-judge panel ruled that gaming machines, commonly found at gas stations and convenience stores in Shelby County, are illegal under Tennessee law, according to Shelby County ...

The universe now has an open, quantum-powered dice roll—free, provable, and ready for anyone to use. Credit: Shutterstock NIST’s CURBy beacon transforms quantum “spooky action” into certified random ...
