Must read: Number Representations in Computer Hardware In a newly published study, NIST scientists describe a random number generator that is fully traceable.

Scientists in the US have built a system for creating truly random numbers which cannot be tampered with by a third party. Random numbers might be needed to pick jury members out of a field without ...

Technology Engineering Here’s how to generate a truly random number with quantum physics CURBy is available online and free to use. Andrew Paul Jun 12, 2025 2:01 PM EDT ...

From jury duty to tax audits, randomness plays a big role. Scientists used quantum physics to build a system that ensures those number draws can’t be gamed.

Even if a random number generator used seemingly random processes in nature, it would be hard to verify that those numbers are truly random, Shalm added.

How to know if your random number generator is really random "Encryption methodology actually makes use of random numbers in order to secure that information," said Travis Humble.

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 ...

A team that included researchers at a US bank says it has created a protocol that can generate certified truly random numbers, opening the possibility that current generation quantum computers can ...
