The method used to generate the digits, a pair of 555 timers sending pulses through linear-feedback shift registers, would at best be considered pseudo-random.

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.

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

That means that even if some enemy understands everything about how the random number generator works, they still can’t predict the outcome.

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

Technology Engineering Here’s how to generate a truly random number with quantum physics Andrew Paul Jun 12, 2025 2:01 PM EDT ...

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.
