Theoretical breakthrough in distributed random number generation.David Zuckerman, a computer science professor, and Eshan Chattopadhyay, a graduate student, published a paper in March that will be presented in June at the Symposium on Theory of Computing.âWe show that if you have two low-quality random sourcesâlower quality sources are much easier to come byâtwo sources that are independent and have no correlations between them, you can combine them in a way to produce a high-quality random number,âhttps://threatpost.com/academics-make-theoretical-breakthrough-in-r andom-number-generation/118150/http://eccc.hpi-web.de/report/2015/119/
