Randomness sits at the heart of everything we do online. Many encryption algorithms depend upon randomly generated numbers to work, and that’s just one example of many. But how random is random? It’s ...

Many digital designs incorporate high-speed generation of pseudorandom numbers. Typically, pseudorandom number generation is implemented using linear-feedback shift register (LFSR). An LFSR produces a ...

In this project, you will implement your own pseudo-random number generator (PRG) in Java. We will give you some of the code you need, and we will ask you to provide certain functions missing from the ...

If your name gets picked for jury duty, it’s because a computer used a random number generator to select it. The same goes for tax audits or when you opt for a quick pick lottery ticket. But how can ...

Random number generation is the Achilles heel of cryptography. Intel's Ivy Bridge processor incorporates its own, robust random number generator. Random number generation is the Achilles heel of ...
