And they don't say the random number generator function in JavaScript -- Math.random () -- is broken. They say it "offers sub-par quality." Specifically, V8 used a pseudorandom number generator (PRNG) ...

Over the years, multiple studies have found that Google Chrome’s V8 JavaScript engine was returning not-so-random numbers when you called the Math.random() function. Today that’s been fixed ...

Curiously, some popular random-number generators fail even in simulating a coin toss. Over time, they should produce roughly the same number of zeros and ones (heads and tails).

A software routine that produces a random number. Used in applications such as computer games and cryptographic key generation, random numbers are easily created in a computer due to many random ...

Random numbers are important for computer encryption, lotteries, scientific modelling, and gambling. Current methods of generating random numbers can produce predictable results.

That’s exactly how the world’s only commercially available quantum random number generator works. But its speed is limited to about one megabit per second.
