Researchers, including one of Indian-origin, have developed a new method for producing truly random numbers, a breakthrough invention that could contribute a lot in improving cybersecurity. Scientists at the University of Texas at Austin have developed a method that can be used to make electronic voting more secure, conduct statistically significant polls and more accurately simulate complex systems such as Earth's climate.
The method involves creating truly random numbers which could facilitate significantly higher levels of security for everything from consumer credit card transactions to military communications.
This new method is more reliable as compared to the previous ones which as they either required that one of the two source sequences be truly random or both source sequences be close to truly random.
