16 Aug 2004 | | Journal: | Publ.Astron.Soc.Austral. 22 (2005) 1 | | Subject: | astro-ph | | Abstract: | This article describes a method to turn astronomical imaging into a random number generator by using the positions of incident cosmic rays and hot pixels to generate bit streams. We subject the resultant bit streams to a battery of standard benchmark statistical tests for randomness and show that these bit streams are statistically the same as a perfect random bit stream. Strategies for improving and building upon this method are outlined. | | Source: | arXiv, astro-ph/0408281 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
