Abstract: True random number generator (TRNG) and physical unclonable function (PUF) have been extensively used to secure low-cost Internet of Things (IoT) endpoints. In this paper, a lightweight ...

During his remarks from the Oval Office today, Donald Trump claims that 4,000 people were murdered "in a short period of time" in Chicago, while ranting about Illinois Governor JB Pritzker. This is ...

Researchers have developed a chip-based quantum random number generator that provides high-speed, high-quality operation on a miniaturized platform. This advance could help move quantum random number ...

Although these days we get to tap into many sources of entropy to give a pretty good illusion of randomness, home computers back in the 1980s weren’t so lucky. Despite this, their random number ...

Iowa State Cyclones quarterback Rocco Becht during the football team’s media day at Jack Trice Stadium in Ames, Iowa, on Friday, July 25, 2025. Becht, a redshirt junior, threw for 3,505 yards and 25 ...

National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) scientists have created the first random number generator that uses quantum entanglement, providing traceable and certifiable confirmation that ...

If your name gets picked for jury duty, it’s because a computer used a random number generator to select it. The same goes for tax audits or when you opt for a quick pick lottery ticket. But how can ...

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 ...

Quick! Think of a number between 1 and 10…was it 7? If it was, don't feel too bad, as human brains are notoriously bad at both true randomness and understanding probability. Even if you're too ...

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’t be ...
