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 ...

Fast quantum random number generator could advance cryptography on the cheap. According to Jun Zhang, a physicist at Hefei and a co-author of the research published in Applied Physics Letters, the ...

For example, it would be better to use a random-number generator that produces a sequence of zeros, ones, and twos and then ignores the zeros to give a sequence of just ones and twos.

Random numbers: Hard times ahead for hackers Date: May 31, 2017 Source: Université de Genève Summary: Whenever we need to communicate in secret, a cryptographic key is needed.

For example, traditional computers may create encryption based on the result of multiplying two large prime numbers together, generating a seemingly random number.
