You Can Approximate Pi by Dropping Needles on the Floor

In this simulation, 66 of the 100 needles crossed a line (you can count ’em). Using this number, we get a value of pi at 3.0303—which is not 3.14—but it's not terrible for just 100 needles. With ...

Verifiable Random Function Schemes Based on SM2 Digital Signature Algorithm and its Applications for Committee Elections

Abstract: A verifiable random function (VRF) is a pseudorandom function that enables source verification. By providing a public verification key and accompanying proof with the output, all parties can ...

A PVT-Tolerant Oscillation-Collapse-Based True Random Number Generator With an Odd Number of Inverter Stages

Abstract: This brief proposes a PVT-tolerant true random number generator (TRNG) based on a ring oscillator (RO) with an odd number of inverter stages. By introducing a Muller C-element in each racing ...

Efficient canonical floating-point random number generator with fully random fraction bits

What are the implications of not producing such small values and the precision loss? Many algorithms use log or similar functions to map values between 0 and 1 to an infinite range. The largest value ...
