Well of course they aren't random, it's a deterministic function. But the algorithm proposed is also a deterministic function. Both claim to produce scrambled outputs from semi random inputs. But it's not clear why this method is superior.
- Retra 10y agoI think the idea here is that you can take two weak sources of randomness and combine them into a stronger, single source of randomness in a homogenous way that doesn't reveal the original weaknesses. Thus it's not adding randomness from nowhere, but composing it in a useful way. I don't actually know, but that's the only interpretation I could come up with that makes sense to me.
