Random number generation, or RNG, is the unseen engine that makes many video game features work, from loot drops to procedural levels. Figuring out how it works helps you understand why you never seem ...

Adding numbers to your passwords makes them more secure. In fact, most sites and services these days require alphanumeric passwords at the very least. Some people ...

Abstract: In this brief we propose two pseudo-random number generators (PRNGs) based on the discrete Arnold cat map (DACM) over the integer ring Z2m. The first PRNG employs or-exclusive (XOR) and bit ...

In brief, online slots operate via pseudo‑random number generators (PRNGs) that continuously cycle through vast sequences of numbers, selecting results only the moment you click “spin.” Each spin’s ...

A team including CU PREP researchers and scientists from CU Boulder and NIST have built the first random number generator using quantum entanglement to produce verifiable random numbers. Dubbed CURBy, ...

This content has been selected, created and edited by the Finextra editorial team based upon its relevance and interest to our community. KAUST and KACST claim that their new quantum random number ...

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 ...

Gambling games operate according to modern quality and safety standards. They always give different results every time without fail. Special random number generators are responsible for this, also ...

High-quality random number generators are required for various applications such as cryptography, secure communications, Monte Carlo simulations, and randomized algorithms. Existing pseudorandom ...
