When you're generating random numbers from a physical source, how do you detect when there's some failure in the hardware or sensors that's reducing the randomness? Can you use redundancy so the probability of this is vanishingly low?
- asafira 9y agoI always thought you did this by performing statistics on sample values to see if very unlikely correlations exist.
