Abstract

Random number generation plays a crucial role in modern computing, especially in cryptography, simulations, statistical analysis, and secure communication. This paper reviews two major approaches to generating randomness: true random number generators (TRNGs), which rely on unpredictable physical phenomena, and pseudo-random number generators (PRNGs), which produce deterministic sequences through mathematical algorithms. While TRNGs offer high-quality entropy required for security-critical tasks, PRNGs provide speed and reproducibility for general-purpose applications. By examining their mechanisms, strengths, and limitations, this study highlights the importance of choosing appropriate RNG models for secure system design.
