Random numbers play a big role in computer science applications such as data encryption, since they allow the generation of (big) numbers that cannot be predicted. Typically computers use pseudo random numbers which are hard to predict, but this cannot be completely ruled out. Now big true random numbers can be generated using DNA synthesis.
