Degrees of Randomness and the Law of Large Numbers
February 4, 2022 | 6 minutesIn a previous post comparing quantum and avalanche diode methods of true random number generation, an interesting pattern emerged. The quantum random numbers would pass more STS tests than avalanche diode random numbers. Seemingly, the quantum RNG converges to a mean before the diode RNG.
Quantum versus Avalanche Breakdown Randomness
December 8, 2021 | 10 minutesAvalanche breakdown and quantum are two methods for generating true random numbers. Here, we’ll compare them for feasibility and quality. The feasibility of a TRNG is how many bits per second it can produce while remaining random. And that leads us into quality which will be determined according to the NIST’s STS.
