Can I generate authentic random number with python?
Truly random numbers can be generated from
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/quantumrandom/
pip install quantumrandom
Currently you are limited to blocks of 1024 but with a bit of simple programming and a little bit of time you will be able to extend this limit to a large enough sample for most applications.
The documentation for the random
module has this to say:
Warning: The pseudo-random generators of this module should not be used for security purposes. Use
os.urandom()
orSystemRandom
if you require a cryptographically secure pseudo-random number generator.
