Researchers claim spoof-proof random number generator breakthrough

SMRTR summary

Scientists developed a system for generating truly random numbers using quantum entanglement and a public hash chain. The Colorado University Randomness Beacon (CURBy) uses entangled photons measured at two sites, creating verifiable random numbers with a 99.7% success rate. This breakthrough could enhance security and trust in various applications requiring unbiased randomness.
