Real hardware random numbers

Monday, January 12th, 2009

our RNG hardware
Inspired by an article in German computer magazine c't and Oliver Lau's accompanying software we now provide an interface that supplies hardware-generated random numbers for your everyday randomness needs - be it simulations or seeding your RNG algorithms. The random numbers are generated from the dark noise of a USB webcam and pass all standard RN tests like DIEHARD et al.
