Fun Fact

True randomness is surprisingly hard to achieve. Modern browsers combine operating-system entropy, hardware noise, and timing data to produce the random bytes you see here.

Historical Context

Early software relied on predictable pseudo-random number generators. As security threats increased, operating systems introduced cryptographically secure randomness sources. The Web Crypto API brought these capabilities directly into browsers, enabling secure client-side tools like this one.
