your 'production' requirements don't have things to do with randomness. its common for cryptographic use cases to have some more steep post processing requirements for randomness sources to avoid some pitfals, but in reality, 111111111 is just as random as 0000000 or 01010101010 as long as it's not a perpetuated pattern?
- varelaz 8y agoThere is no aim to get one or zero in output. We need to have enough ones for XOR algorithm to invert bits. A xor 1 => inverted A. A xor 0 = A. So if we have too few ones, source data will remain unchanged and that quickly become a pattern. The same is if we have too few zeros and amount of inverts become predictable.
