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.

Very little in this life is truly random. A coin flip is influenced by the flipper’s force, its surrounding airflow, and ...

Scientists have built the first ever traceable and certifiable random number generator that uses quantum entanglement.

Abstract: This paper presents a new type of True Random Number Generator (TRNG) based on jitter and metastability implemented in the latest family of Xilinx FPGA devices. The source of randomness is ...

Abstract: An ultra-fast true random number generator (TRNG) based on ill-posedness nucleation of skyrmion bags (sk-bags) with high topological charge (Q) is proposed and studied via numerical method.

In this study, two-dimensional electronic fingerprinting was demonstrated and integrated into a memristive true random number generator (TRNG). For the device function of the TRNG, two modes of ...

Summary: Random numbers help us secure everything from bank accounts to classified servers. And yet, that essential layer of security can be spoofed. New research from the Oak Ridge National ...
