Abstract: True random number generator (TRNG) and physical unclonable function (PUF) have been extensively used to secure low-cost Internet of Things (IoT) endpoints. In this paper, a lightweight ...

Encryption systems rely on “random” numbers, but conventional computers can’t generate them perfectly. New research shows that quantum physics can.

Abstract: High-quality random numbers are very critical to many fields such as cryptography, finance, and scientific simulation, which calls for the design of reliable true random number generators ...

One of the hardest things to do in physics is to generate true, provably unpredictable randomness. That's because it's impossible to determine randomness based on the output alone. The difficulty lies ...
