Exploring Computer Science

We use random.org in our Exploring Computer Science during our Algorithms unit. We use the string generator to make random passwords to test to see how complexity and length changes the amount of time taken to ‘crack’ the password. We use the integer generator to try out One Time Pad Encryption and we also use the coin flipper during our discussions of true vs pseudo random discussions. They have been a great resource and supportive of our efforts for over a decade!

Conducting a Study on War Veterans

Thank you for offering the random number generator. I have used it for a research on the effects of target specific communications in a N=2000 population of Dutch War Veterans. In the experimental setting it was necessary to randomise the research population and to divide them over four sub-groups, similar in size. The only acceptable way was to do so by adding a randomised variable in SPSS. Afterwards it was possible to assign the subjects to one of the groups by sorting on the randomized variable. Of course I gave due credit in the report by mentioning your service and revealing the URL.
