Journal of the Royal Statistical Society. Series C (Applied Statistics), Vol. 29, No. 2 (1980), pp. 164-171 (8 pages) The lattice and spectral tests are shown to be suitable only for full-period ...

A truly random number is something that is surprisingly difficult to generate. A typical approach is to generate the required element of chance from a natural and unpredictable source, such as ...

If you want to compose music in the manner of Shawn Decker, you`d better get a lot of advanced mathematics under your belt, be able to design sophisticated computer software programs and know a lot of ...

Randomness is a slippery concept, defying precise definition. A simple example of a random series is provided by repeatedly tossing a coin. Assigning “1” for heads and “0” for tails, we generate a ...

The Entropy Engine can deliver 350 Mbps of true random numbers—enough to give a data center enough random data to dramatically improve all cryptographic processes For many decades, the term “random ...

Random numbers are crucial for computing, but our current algorithms aren’t truly random. Researchers at Brown University have now found a way to tap into the fluctuations of quasiparticles to ...

On Unix systems, random numbers are generated in a number of ways and random data can serve many purposes. From simple commands to fairly complex processes, the ...
