The world’s first practical quantum random number generator (QRNG) will reportedly overcome weaknesses of current encryption, revolutionizing internet security.

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

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

Current methods of generating random numbers can produce predictable results. Researchers said the new method could generate higher-quality random numbers with less computer processing.

A new laser can generate many sequences of random numbers at once, similar to throwing multiple dice at a time. Such ultrafast random number generators could someday help secure online ...

What does random number generator actually mean? Find out inside PCMag's comprehensive tech and computer-related encyclopedia.

For that you’ll need a true random number generator (RNG), and this open-source hardware RNG uses one of the better methods we’ve seen.

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 ...
