Random Number Generator Uses Camera Noise

Random numbers are very important to us in this computer age, being used for all sorts of security and cryptographic tasks. [Theory to Thing] recently built a device to generate random numbers ...

Probability underlies much of the modern world—an engineering professor explains how it actually works

Probability underpins AI, cryptography and statistics. However, as the philosopher Bertrand Russell said, "Probability is the most important concept in modern science, especially as nobody has the ...

Harvesting RTN for True Random Number Generators and Physical Unclonable Functions

Abstract: Random Telegraph Noise (RTN) is an intriguing entropy source that can be exploited to develop lightweight cryptographic primitives. Its utility in Physical Unclonable Functions (PUFs) has ...
