[Zach] sent in a project he’s been working on that brings hardware random number generators to common hardware you might have lying around. It’s called Whirlyfly and it turns an FPGA dev board into a ...

[Ian] had a need for a lot of random numbers. There are dozens of commercial offerings when it comes to RNGs, but there are also hundreds of different ways for an electronics hobbyist to shoot random ...

A new research paper titled “FPGA Random Number Generator” was published by a researcher at Johns Hopkins University. According to the paper’s abstract: “This paper offers a proof-of-concept for ...

As wireless network connectivity becomes almost ubiquitous in both private and public sectors, it has also become immensely profitable for criminals to use those networks to invade computers to steal ...

Random number generation is a key component of secure encryption. Subvert it — by making the random numbers somehow predictable — and you make cracking the encryption easier. So that's what the NSA ...

Scientists have managed to generate real random numbers for the first time with the help of a 56-qubit quantum computer. In a study published in the journal Nature, scientists from JPMorganChase, ...
