Gainesville, FL -- July 15, 2008-- The Athena Group, Inc., the leader in cryptographic IP, today announced the immediate availability of multiple configurations of its silicon-proven random number ...

While world events are often difficult to predict, true randomness is surprisingly hard to find. In recent years, physicists have turned to quantum mechanics for a solution, using the inherently ...

Peter Bierhorst’s machine is no pinnacle of design. Nestled in the Rocky Mountains inside a facility for the National Institute of Standards and Technology, the photon-generating behemoth spans an ...

Whenever we need to communicate in secret, a cryptographic key is needed. For this key to work, it must consist of numbers chosen at random without any structure – just the opposite of using the ...

Is there any better indication of how far our freedoms have eroded than the frequency and vigor with which security experts question the means and motivation behind U.S. government actions purportedly ...

Using a single, chip-scale laser, scientists have managed to generate streams of completely random numbers at about 100 times the speed of the fastest random-numbers generator systems that are ...

How can one create a random stream of bits suitable for use in encryption and embed this solution in an FPGA? Random numbers in cryptography are key (pun intended). They can be a weak point in a ...

Whenever we need to communicate in secret, a cryptographic key is needed. For this key to work, it must consist of numbers chosen at random without any structure - just the opposite of using the ...
