Not all random number generators are created equal. The Python documentation warns that Python's built-in random number generator isn't suitable for cryptographic purposes, where a minimum level ...

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.

Cryptography, too, relies heavily on random numbers for the generation of unbreakable keys. Better, cheaper ways of generating and handling such numbers are therefore always welcome.

A new network paradigm can generate meaningfully random numbers—and fast. In network encryption, randomness has huge value because it’s not “solvable” by hackers. Classical computers can ...

While the outcome is always random when measuring a single particle, a pair’s properties are more correlated than classical physics dictates. This allows experts to verify the randomness at a ...

OTTAWA — An Ottawa physicist has developed a way to generate random numbers, the key to encrypting data in ways that hackers can’t figure out.
