A commonly used uniform random-number generator is examined in light of a genetic-simulation problem. Although this generator is often useful, it proves defective in this case. The author suggests that any proposed generator be checked for the properties needed by the simulation problem at hand.

We present a random number generator that is useful for serious computations and can be implemented easily in any language that has 32-bit signed integers, for example C, C ++ and FORTRAN. This combination generator has a cycle length that would take two millennia to compute on widely used desktop c

Up to now biometric methods have been used in cryptography for authentication purposes. In this paper we propose to use biological data for generating sequences of random bits. We point out that this new approach could be particularly useful to generate seeds for pseudo-random number generators and
