It may come as a surprise that despite the power our computers have, they can't achieve true randomness. In fact, they rely ...

The power of randomness is one of the most enduring mysteries of computation. In the last 30+ years, several algorithms have been designed which crucially use randomness and beat their deterministic ...

As with all "classic algorithms," its output was deterministic: it produced the same result for the same input every time. It would always finish, and it always produced the optimal, correct result.

The National Institute of Standards and Technology has finally removed a cryptographic algorithm from its draft guidance on random number generators, more than six months after leaked top-secret ...

There's lots of things you shouldn't leave up to people's best guesses, and determining which criminals are likely to reoffend is one of them.

Logic BIST (LBIST) is a well-stablished traditional solution for meeting automotive testing standards. However, using pseudo-random LBIST patterns can be challenging when trying to achieve ...

Former NSA contractor Edward Snowden leaked documents in 2013 that suggested the NSA wrote the dual elliptic curve deterministic random bit generator (Dual_EC_DRBG) algorithm which became part of ...
