Random vs. Pseudorandom Number Generators

Randomness plays a critical role in everything from cryptography to simulations. But not all randomness is created equal. This video dives into the difference between true and pseudorandom number generators, including how the Neumann algorithm works and why “periods” in pseudorandom sequences create predictability that weakens security.

Real Random uses tamper-evident hardware to harness Brownian motion, delivering cryptographically secure entropy that never repeats and scales effortlessly across cloud, data center, and edge environments. Unlike PRNGs, our solution provides post-quantum readiness, today. Learn more about our mission here.
