Portable random number generators [PDF]
SSRN Electronic Journal, 1999 Computers are deterministic devices, and a computer-generated random number is a contradiction in terms. As a result, computer-generated pseudorandom numbers are fraught with peril for the unwary. We summarize much that is known about the most well-known

Quantum random number generators [PDF]
Reviews of Modern Physics, 2017 Random numbers are a fundamental resource in science and engineering with important applications in simulation and cryptography. The inherent randomness at the core of quantum mechanics makes quantum systems a perfect source of entropy. Quantum random number generation is one of the most mature quantum technologies with many alternative generation ...

Thermodynamics of random number generation
Physical Review E, 2017 We analyze the thermodynamic costs of the three main approaches to generating random numbers via the recently introduced Information Processing Second Law. Given access to a specified source of randomness, a random number generator (RNG) produces samples from a desired target probability distribution.

Permissionless Blockchain Systems as Pseudo-Random Number Generators for Decentralized Consensus
IEEE Access, 2023 Consensus algorithms that function in permissionless blockchain systems must randomly select new block proposers in a decentralised environment. Our contribution is a new blockchain consensus algorithm called Proof-of-Publicly Verifiable Randomness ...
