To fix the bug Google needed to switch to a new pseudo-random number generator called xorshift128+ which fixes the not-quite-random problem found in the older MWC1616 algorithm.

There’s no cheating this random number generator The protocol ensures jury duty selections and other draws are truly random and secure ...

That’s why we need a TRNG (True Random Number Generator), but that requires special hardware. Some high-end microprocessors are equipped with an internal hardware TRNG, but it is, unfortunately ...

So it turns out the random number generator long used by developers working with Google's V8 JavaScript engine doesn't really generate random numbers at all.

The company needed some truly random numbers for its security solutions, so it turned to some groovy old tech: lava lamps. In their office is a wall of 100 lava lamps monitored by cameras.

Random number generator 'improved' 17 May 2016 Thinkstock Computers have trouble generating truly random numbers - but a new method could help ...

A perfectly provable random number generator is the bedrock of good cryptography. This scientist wants to make one.

That’s exactly how the world’s only commercially available quantum random number generator works. But its speed is limited to about one megabit per second.

A new random number generator that uses a micro laser developed by researchers at NTU Singapore is a hundred times faster than computer-based systems.
