The method used to generate the digits, a pair of 555 timers sending pulses through linear-feedback shift registers, would at best be considered pseudo-random.

Unlike other random number generators, this device is based on a method generally accepted to be truly random.

In this paper, a new pseudo-random number generator (PRNG) based on improved one-dimensional discrete-space chaotic map is proposed. Like the original, the improved map relies on bijective mapping of ...

The world’s first practical quantum random number generator (QRNG) will reportedly overcome weaknesses of current encryption, revolutionizing internet security.

Random number generation is the Achilles heel of cryptography. Intel's Ivy Bridge processor incorporates its own, robust random number generator.
