If the actual distribution of the noise one is sampling from is known, use the CDF of the noise to obtain a true random variable. That's exactly what the biased coin example does.
- vortico 7y agoI imagine this approach would be insecure because an attacker could easily change the distribution from miles away. And I don't think it solves the problem of radio noise being time-dependent random variables.
- mortehu 7y agoThe coin toss example works when the distribution is unknown, and relies purely on independence and stationarity.
