Abstract: A method and device for generating random numbers, via photons entering a non-opaque volume, illuminating a plurality of photodetectors with photons producing a stochastic response which is digitized to yield random numbers. Photodetectors may be illuminated via photons exiting via at least one surface which is not parallel to at least one plane in which lies a surface where light is entering, thereby illuminating photodetectors; or via, reflecting photons from at least one interior surface (of the non-opaque volume), wherein for a plurality of points thereon the degree of directionality is different, thereby illuminating photodetectors; or via, repeatedly reflecting photons from at least two interior surfaces of the non-opaque volume thereby illuminating photodetectors; or via, combinations or variations thereof.
