If I generate a large true random number and I seed a CSPRNG with it, then can the output of this CSPRNG be used anywhere where there is a need for a true random number?
For example, if Alice and Bob both know the seed, then could the outp… Continue reading Randomness of seeded cryptographically secure random number generator

This is about a semi decentralized full open source casino running on the Ethereum blockchain.
For me when I audited the code as for the staff, everything was clear: the gambling games being run should be a profitable operation for the cas… Continue reading How that guy is currently robbing the dice2win casino? (ongoing attack) [closed]
I’m doing some research on PHP’s str_shuffle function, I already asked this question multiply times on StackOverflow but got no answer https://stackoverflow.com/questions/61968859/is-it-possible-to-predict-the-next-output-for-the-str-shuff… Continue reading Security of PHP’s str_shuffle()
Minecraft is a game about exploring procedure-generated worlds. Each world is generated from a particular “seed” value, and sharing this seed value allows others to generate the same world in their own game. Recently, the distributed computing project Minecraft@Home set about trying to find the seed value of the world …read more

When using CSPRNG (crypto secure pseudo random number generation) functions seeding is an important step. So what is the best way to seed a random number function?
Continue reading What is the correct way to seed CSPRNG functions?
Anyone who has ever had to propagate small plants from seed will know that efficiently sowing seed can be a difficult process. Getting a consistent number of seed in each point while achieving any sort of speed is almost impossible, and as a result it becomes a tedious process. If …read more

Most of (or even all) programming languages need the developer to seed an RNG manually in order to generate random-numbers. C for example has no seed, while go uses 1 as default seed.
The easiest solution to this problem is t… Continue reading Why do programming languages don’t use a seed by default? [on hold]
Developers have found that a fake version of a popular Bitcoin Wallet comes equipped with the ability to steal users’ seeds. On 9 May, the Electrum team published a document on GitHub calling out “Electrum Pro” as “stealwareR… Continue reading Devs Find Fake Version of Bitcoin Wallet Stealing Users’ Seeds
Seattle-based BloomAPI is announcing a $2.4 million seed round this morning for its solution to the broken medical records release process. It’s no secret that the entire US healthcare system is held back by antiquated technology — but unlike many competitors, BloomAPI offers a solution that works with, and not against, the old school technologies that are still the unfortunate… Read More Continue reading BloomAPI locks down $2.4M to fix medical record releases
