The more random the numbers, the harder the encrypted message is to crack. Both the beauty and pitfalls of computing come down to the machines' exacting nature in "random" number generation.

If you want to start an argument in certain circles, claim to have a random number generation algorithm. Turns out that producing real random numbers is hard, which is why people often turn to stra… ...

A team including CU PREP researchers and scientists from CU Boulder and NIST have built the first random number generator using quantum entanglement to produce verifiable random numbers. The group ...

Using a single laser, scientists have built a new system that generates random numbers fast and at scale.
