2. Randonautica - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randonautica

   Randonautica (a portmanteau of "random" + "nautica") is an app launched on February 22, 2020 founded by Auburn Salcedo and Joshua Lengfelder ( / lænɡfældɛr / ). It randomly generates coordinates that enable the user to explore their local area and report on their findings. According to its creators, the app is "an attractor of strange ...

3. Applications of randomness - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Applications_of_randomness

   Applications of randomness. Randomness has many uses in science, art, statistics, cryptography, gaming, gambling, and other fields. For example, random assignment in randomized controlled trials helps scientists to test hypotheses, and random numbers or pseudorandom numbers help video games such as video poker .

4. List of random number generators - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_random_number...

   Random number generators that use external entropy. These approaches combine a pseudo-random number generator (often in the form of a block or stream cipher) with an external source of randomness (e.g., mouse movements, delay between keyboard presses etc.). /dev/random – Unix-like systems; CryptGenRandom – Microsoft Windows; Fortuna

5. Lavarand - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lavarand

   Lavarand. A wall of lava lamps at the offices of Cloudflare. Lavarand was a hardware random number generator designed by Silicon Graphics that worked by taking pictures of the patterns made by the floating material in lava lamps, extracting random data from the pictures, and using the result to seed a pseudorandom number generator. [1]

6. Random number generation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random_number_generation

   Dice are an example of a mechanical hardware random number generator. When a cubical die is rolled, a random number from 1 to 6 is obtained. Random number generation is a process by which, often by means of a random number generator (RNG), a sequence of numbers or symbols that cannot be reasonably predicted better than by random chance is generated.

7. Pseudorandom number generator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudorandom_number_generator

   A pseudorandom number generator ( PRNG ), also known as a deterministic random bit generator ( DRBG ), [1] is an algorithm for generating a sequence of numbers whose properties approximate the properties of sequences of random numbers. The PRNG-generated sequence is not truly random, because it is completely determined by an initial value ...

8. Random.org - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random.org

   Random.org (stylized as RANDOM.ORG) is a website that produces random numbers based on atmospheric noise. In addition to generating random numbers in a specified range and subject to a specified probability distribution , which is the most commonly done activity on the site, it has free tools to simulate events such as flipping coins, shuffling ...

9. Hardware random number generator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardware_random_number...

   A USB-pluggable hardware true random number generator. In computing, a hardware random number generator (HRNG), true random number generator (TRNG), non-deterministic random bit generator (NRBG), or physical random number generator is a device that generates random numbers from a physical process capable of producing entropy (in other words, the device always has access to a physical entropy ...
