Pseudo-Random vs True Random Numbers
Not all random number generators are created equal. Understanding the difference helps you choose the right tool for your needs.
| Feature | Pseudo-Random (PRNG) | Cryptographic (CSPRNG) | True Random (TRNG) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Source | Algorithm + seed | OS entropy pool | Physical phenomena |
| Example | Math.random() | Web Crypto API (this tool) | Random.org (atmospheric noise) |
| Predictable? | Yes, if seed known | No (computationally infeasible) | No (physically impossible) |
| Speed | Very fast | Fast | Slow (needs hardware) |
| Good for games? | Yes | Yes | Overkill |
| Good for security? | No | Yes | Yes |
Our random number generator uses the Web Crypto API (CSPRNG), which draws from your operating system's entropy pool. This makes it suitable for lottery picks, fair drawings, statistical sampling, and security applications — all without needing an internet connection.
