Abstract. The paper focuses on the problem of generating random numbers, which on the surface appears to be a very simple problem. However, most software tools, which are used to generate such numbers, generate so-called pseudorandom numbers. This means that, if certain conditions are met, it is possible to reproduce successive sequences of generated numbers. The paper solves this problem by building an IoT device that generates true random numbers based on selected physical properties. The device communicates with a server that provides a web service and an API for generating random values in multiple variations.
