In this paper, we explore and analyze the structure and functions of Random Number Generator (RNG) in Windows and Linux opreating systems. And compare the capabilities of their RNGs. It expected that this research would contribute to awareness of the quality and security of the random number generators implemented in Linux and Windows operating systems. It provides unbiased academic research in facilitating informed decision.
