The Powerball lottery jackpot was an estimated $155 million with a cash option of $71 million for Saturday night's drawing.

A quantum random number generator developed in Spain is at the heart of a service being offered for free over the Internet.

Physicists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology in Boulder, Colorado, have upgraded their previously developed quantum-based method for true random number generation. Thanks to the ...

UPS supplier's password policy flip-flops from unlimited, to 32, then 64 characters Brown noted that for a bad actor to control the final output of the random-number generator undetected, the records ...

While the outcome is always random when measuring a single particle, a pair’s properties are more correlated than classical physics dictates. This allows experts to verify the randomness at a ...

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

How to know if your random number generator is really random "Encryption methodology actually makes use of random numbers in order to secure that information," said Travis Humble.

But who certifies the random numbers, and what can we do with them afterward? When you ask a computer to give you a random number, code behind the scenes is doing an approximation of randomness.
