AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present technology allows multiple randomly generated sequences (called pseudo codes) with different characteristics can be tested without any errors or inconsistencies during testing. This helps improve accuracy when generating these sequence data.

Problems solved by technology

The patent text discusses the problem of current gaming machines using pseudo random number generators to determine wagering and bonus outcomes. These generators are not truly random, but instead follow a fixed, predictable recipe, which can lead to unfair outcomes and potential loss of money for casinos. The text suggests that there is a need for improved methods and devices to provide truly random numbers for wagering games.

example 1

[0057]The example will be described with reference to FIGS. 6A and 6B, a flow chart of a method for generating a plurality of random numbers in a gaming machine in accordance with yet another embodiment of the invention.

[0058]To ensure the integrity of the true random number generator, the voltage and current to the laser in the true random number generator may be verified at 600. Too much power supplied to the laser in the true random number generator may result in the over-saturation of the photon detector with too many photons. Too little power produces less photons, which may result in the continuous non-detection of the photon after the attenuation. Thus, the power to the laser should remain constant within an acceptable range to prevent an unexpected performance loss of the random number generator. For example, if a 1 mW He—Ne laser is used to produce the random numbers with the neutral density filter that results in the mean distance of 2 km between the photons, the photomult...

example 2

[0068]The cryptographic keys used in various embodiments of the invention may be the Public Key Cryptography, more specifically, the RSA cryptography system. Other public key cryptography algorithms that may be used is the Elliptical Curve Cryptography (ECC), Diffie-Hellman key exchange, digital signature algorithm (DSA) cryptography, and any other type of public key cryptography system.

[0069]The private and public key from RSA cryptography system allows the random number generating device to obtain its own identity; it allows the random number generating device to digitally sign the plurality of random numbers with its own private key. The private key also allows the random number generating device to decrypt the public key-encrypted message by a remote device received through the I / O interface.

[0070]One method to digitally sign the set of random numbers or data is RSA encrypting the hashed value of the plurality of random numbers with the private key. The signed random numbers can...
