In this paper, the authors propose the application of cryptography algorithm to ensure secure communication across the virtual networks. In cryptography, encryption is the process of encoding messages ...

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and review, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has removed a cryptographic algorithm from its draft guidance on random number generators.

Hackers love random numbers, or more accurately, the pursuit of them. It turns out that computers are so good at following our exacting instructions that they are largely incapable of doing anything ...

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 ...

The world’s first practical quantum random number generator (QRNG) will reportedly overcome weaknesses of current encryption, revolutionizing internet security. The true randomness of numbers from ...

Researchers propose a True Random Number Generation (TRNG) using dark pixel values of images received from the CMOS image sensor to provide unpredictability to the passwords. “Random Number Generators ...

A wide variety of applications, including data encryption and circuit testing, require random numbers. As the cost of the hardware become cheaper, it is feasible and frequently necessary to implement ...

The flaw in Windows 2000’s random number generator uncovered by Israeli researchers is a vulnerability — but not a security vulnerability, Microsoft Corp. said late last week, as it left users ...
