A man went from a longtime Virginia resident to one of the state’s jackpot winners, lottery officials said. Norman Sullivan, ...

Scientists with NIST and the University of Colorado Boulder developed CURBy, a system that can verify the randomness of strings of numbers, which will add more protection to encrypted data in the ...

Looks like I surpassed 8,000 blog posts at MacRumors recently. My typed word count has probably well exceeded 2 million.

NIST’s CURBy beacon transforms quantum “spooky action” into certified random numbers, guarded by a blockchain-like Twine ...

Scientists at NIST and the University of Colorado Boulder have created CURBy, a cutting-edge quantum randomness beacon that ...

Eshan Chattopadhyay, an Associate Professor at Cornell University, has been awarded the 2025 Godel Prize for his groundbreaking solution to a decades- ...

Quantum breakthrough delivers verifiable randomness as researchers develop globally scalable ‘uncheatable’ system rooted in ...

From jury duty to tax audits, randomness plays a big role. Scientists used quantum physics to build a system that ensures those number draws can’t be gamed.

Very little in this life is truly random. A coin flip is influenced by the flipper’s force, its surrounding airflow, and gravity. Similar variables dictate rolling a pair of dice or shuffling a deck ...

Random numbers can enable auditors to make completely unbiased selections. Randomness is also key in security; if a password or code is an unguessable string of numbers, it's harder to crack.

CURBy produces random numbers automatically and broadcasts them daily through a website for anyone to use. At the heart of this service is the NIST-run Bell test, which provides truly random results.

A new network paradigm can generate meaningfully random numbers—and fast. In network encryption, randomness has huge value because it’s not “solvable” by hackers.
