Hackers love random numbers, or more accurately, the pursuit of them. It turns out that computers are so good at following our exacting instructions that they are largely incapable of doing anythin… ...

It’s quantum, it’s chaotic, it makes for a great source for a random number generator, and there are already dozens of prototype circuits around the Internet.

In computer security, random numbers are crucial values that must be unpredictable—such as secret keys or initialization vectors (IVs)—forming the foundation of security systems. To achieve this, ...

Researchers have built the fastest random-number generator ever made, using a simple laser. It exploits fluctuations in the intensity of light to generate randomness—a coveted resource in ...

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

In the Swiss experiment, the camera was used to create a 1.25 Gbit/s stream of random numbers. One worry about any random-number generator is that the numbers could be influenced in a predictable way ...

These numbers correspond to the symbols or numbers on the reels of the slot machine. The Time AI random number generator is simply a microprocessor.

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.

However, Excel's random number functions are volatile, meaning they change constantly. In this article, I'll show you how to generate and fix random numbers and remove duplicates.
