How can you generate random bits? Some people think it’s ... All MCUs are on the same proto board (that’s why they are on the same schematic diagram), and the program in the master MCU ...

From jury duty to tax audits, randomness plays a big role. Scientists used quantum physics to build a system that ensures those number draws can’t be gamed.

For that you’ll need a true random number generator (RNG), and this open-source hardware RNG uses one of the better methods we’ve seen. The device, called RAVA, is based on a property found in ...

Lasers can generate random number sequences thanks to tiny, naturally occurring fluctuations in the light’s frequency over time. But using a laser beam to produce random numbers like that is ...
