of possible interest... From: "National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)" Date: Wednesday, April 11, 2018 at 11:04 AM Subject: NIST’s New Quantum Method Generates Really Random Numbers Experimental technique may enhance security and trust in cryptographic systems... NIST’s New Quantum Method Generates Really Random Numbers https://www.nist.gov/news-events/news/2018/04/nists-new-quantum-method-generates-really-random-numbers Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have developed a method for generating numbers guaranteed to be random by quantum mechanics. Described in the April 12 issue of Nature, the experimental technique surpasses all previous methods for ensuring the unpredictability of its random numbers and may enhance security and trust in cryptographic systems.
