According to this post on the official V8 Javascript blog, the pseudo-random number generator (PRNG) that V8 Javascript uses in Math.random() is horribly flawed and getting replaced with something … ...

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 ...

In computer security, random numbers are crucial values that must be unpredictable—such as secret keys or initialization vectors (IVs)—forming the foundation of security systems. To achieve this, ...

Researchers have built the fastest random-number generator ever made, using a simple laser. It exploits fluctuations in the intensity of light to generate randomness—a coveted resource in ...

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

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.

Over the years, multiple studies have found that Google Chrome’s V8 JavaScript engine was returning not-so-random numbers when you called the Math.random() function. Today that’s been fixed ...

A new laser’s chaotic light beam lets the device generate multiple number sequences at once, similar to throwing multiple dice at a time.

Current methods of generating random numbers can produce predictable results. Researchers said the new method could generate higher-quality random numbers with less computer processing.

Hardware Scientists have created a random number generator that's truly random—and no, that's not an easy thing to do at all News By Jess Kinghorn published April 16, 2025 ...
