From jury duty to tax audits, randomness plays a big role. Scientists used quantum physics to build a system that ensures those number draws can’t be gamed.

Very little in this life is truly random. A coin flip is influenced by the flipper’s force, its surrounding airflow, and ...

Upgraded system produces strings of random bits in a process that is fully traceable. The outcome of quantum experiments is ...

G od, Albert Einstein famously declared, does not play dice. It’s a pithy statement, but a revealing one: to the famously ...

A few years ago, Oracle simplified licensing of Java. Given the prevalence of Java hosted on VMware vSphere, licensing used to be priced based on the number of physical cores of the server hardware.

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 ...

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

Abstract: An ultra-fast true random number generator (TRNG) based on ill-posedness nucleation of skyrmion bags (sk-bags) with high topological charge (Q) is proposed and studied via numerical method.

Abstract: The requirement of encryption is everywhere whether data is being transmitted or being stored in some devices. Random numbers can be used in data encryption. Every IoT device which is ...
