Science Daily September 4, 2023 Perovskite light emitting diodes (PeLEDs) has the potential to revolutionize the fields of optical communication and lighting devices, due to their simplicity of fabrication and outstanding optical properties. An international team of researchers (Sweden, Chile) has demonstrated that PeLEDs could be used in the field of quantum technologies by implementing a highly secure quantum random number generator (QRNG) which is posed to replace classical random number generators in applications such as encryption and gambling, and therefore need to be cheap, fast and have integration capabilities. Using a compact metal-halide PeLED source, the team generated random […]

The Future of Cybersecurity Is the Quantum Random Number Generator
IEEE Spectrum June 28, 2018 Nearly 140 years back Frank Miller proposed encrypting messages by shifting each letter in the message by a random number of places, resulting in a string of gibberish. And ever since, cryptographers have tried to devise a way to generate and distribute the unique and truly random numbers that the technique requires. This article reviews the various developments in random number generating research. Researchers have made good progress in recent years in developing technologies that can generate and distribute truly random numbers. By measuring the unpredictable attributes of subatomic particles, these devices can use the […]
Game changing invention to revolutionise cybersecurity
Phys.org July 2, 2018 Researchers in the UK propose using resonant tunnelling diodes as practical true random number generators based on a quantum mechanical effect. The output of the proposed devices can be directly used as a random stream of bits or can be further distilled using randomness extraction algorithms, depending on the application. With the lowest power requirements and high scalability due to the simple semiconductor structure it is hoped that this innovation will play a pivotal role in protecting both consumers and businesses across the globe in their digital futures… read more.
