Gainesville, FL -- July 15, 2008-- The Athena Group, Inc., the leader in cryptographic IP, today announced the immediate availability of multiple configurations of its silicon-proven random number ...

Fraunhofer Institute for Photonic Microsystems IPMS announces Q‑Dice, a high‑performance Quantum Random Number Generator (QRNG) that generates randomness based on quantum vacuum fluctuations. The ...

The information exchanged by modern devices is typically protected by cryptographic techniques, approaches that convert ...

While world events are often difficult to predict, true randomness is surprisingly hard to find. In recent years, physicists have turned to quantum mechanics for a solution, using the inherently ...

True random number generators (TRNGs) underpin the security of modern cryptographic systems by providing unpredictability that cannot be reproduced by any deterministic algorithm. Unlike pseudorandom ...

There will be an app for that: making random numbers on a mobile phone. (Courtesy: Marketa Michalkova) Do you feel nervous when you make a credit-card transaction using your mobile phone? Your worries ...

Peter Bierhorst’s machine is no pinnacle of design. Nestled in the Rocky Mountains inside a facility for the National Institute of Standards and Technology, the photon-generating behemoth spans an ...

Following a public comment period and review, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has removed a cryptographic algorithm from its draft guidance on random number generators.

Random numbers are very important to us in this computer age, being used for all sorts of security and cryptographic tasks. [Theory to Thing] recently built a device to generate random numbers using ...
