2. Wikipedia:Random - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Random

   Random. On Wikipedia and other sites running on MediaWiki, Special:Random can be used to access a random article in the main namespace; this feature is useful as a tool to generate a random article. Depending on your browser, it's also possible to load a random page using a keyboard shortcut (in Firefox, Edge, and Chrome Alt-Shift + X ).

3. List of random number generators - Wikipedia

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

   However, generally they are considerably slower (typically by a factor 2–10) than fast, non-cryptographic random number generators. These include: Stream ciphers. Popular choices are Salsa20 or ChaCha (often with the number of rounds reduced to 8 for speed), ISAAC, HC-128 and RC4. Block ciphers in counter mode.

4. Random number generation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random_number_generation

   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. This means that the particular outcome sequence will contain some patterns detectable in hindsight but impossible to foresee.

5. 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 ...

6. Mersenne Twister - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mersenne_Twister

   Mersenne Twister. The Mersenne Twister is a general-purpose pseudorandom number generator (PRNG) developed in 1997 by Makoto Matsumoto [ ja] (松本 眞) and Takuji Nishimura (西村 拓士). [1] [2] Its name derives from the choice of a Mersenne prime as its period length.

7. Randomness test - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randomness_test

   Randomness test. A randomness test (or test for randomness ), in data evaluation, is a test used to analyze the distribution of a set of data to see whether it can be described as random (patternless). In stochastic modeling, as in some computer simulations, the hoped-for randomness of potential input data can be verified, by a formal test for ...

8. 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]

9. 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 ...
