Abstract: True random number generators (TRNGs) perform an irreplaceable role in securing information systems. In this brief, a lightweight hybrid entropy source TRNG implementation scheme based on ...

Prime numbers are sometimes called math’s “atoms” because they can be divided by only themselves and 1. For two millennia, mathematicians have wondered if the prime numbers are truly random, or if ...

WASHINGTON — Researchers have developed a chip-based quantum random number generator that provides high-speed, high-quality operation on a miniaturized platform. This advance could help move quantum ...
