Sometimes you need random numbers — and properly random ones, at that. Hackaday Alum [Sean Boyce] whipped up a rig that serves up just that, tasty random bytes delivered fresh over MQTT. [Sean] tells ...

Whether it’s a game of D&D or encrypting top-secret information, a wide array of methods are available for generating the needed random numbers with high enough entropy for their use case. For a ...

A Javascript based random number generator that changes the cell colors of a 20x20 table based on the random number picked for the cell. Available in a 2-bit mode (1 = black, 0 = white) and a 3-bit ...

Do you feel nervous when you make a credit-card transaction using your mobile phone? Your worries could soon be a thing of the past, thanks to a low-cost device that could bring powerful cryptography ...

Abstract: This paper presents a lightweight hybrid random number generator (HRNG), implemented and evaluated on a Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). The proposed design enhances security and ...

Random number generation is a key part of cybersecurity and encryption, and it is applied to many apps used in everyday life, both for business and leisure. These numbers help create unique keys, ...

The search for a better, smaller, faster “true” random number generator—increasingly needed for strong cryptography and security—has fascinated technologists for many years, as they seek genuine ...

Random number generators based on transistor noise have been used for years. To ensure the numbers are uniformly distributed, this project uses an integrated chi-square test to check the output and ...
