Plasma globe entropy generator

During the cyber security course I took over the summer I had the opportunity to work on an individual project of my choice.

I investigated how cryptographically secure pseudorandom number generators work and created a proof-of-concept using a Plasma Globe as an entropy source. A Raspberry Pi with a camera was pointed at the globe and random entropy was derived from it.

I created an academic report and presented my findings to an audience of 120 industry leaders and students.
