Fraunhofer Institute for Photonic Microsystems IPMS announces Q‑Dice, a high‑performance Quantum Random Number Generator (QRNG) that generates randomness based on quantum vacuum fluctuations. The ...

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

Physicists used quantum bits to achieve perfect randomness for the first time ever. The results of their research could strengthen cryptography and other security systems.

Skyrmions, tiny magnetic anomalies that arise in two-dimensional materials, can be used to generate true random numbers useful in cryptography and probabilistic computing. Whether for use in ...

Physicists at ETH Zurich have generated perfect random numbers using quantum entanglement, a breakthrough crucial for ...

The Australian National University (ANU) has announced the ANU Quantum Numbers (AQN) online random number generator has been launched on Amazon Web Services (AWS) Marketplace to scale the service and ...

SAN FRANCISCO, RSA Conference -- In light of yet another SSL vulnerability this week, any improvements to the underpinnings of encryption would be welcome. One weakness of encryption algorithms -- one ...

PROVIDENCE, R.I. [Brown University] — Whether for use in cybersecurity, gaming or scientific simulation, the world needs true random numbers, but generating them is harder than one might think. But a ...
