Perhaps not, but truly secure randomness is much harder. If someone else can measure the same thing you're measuring then it doesn't matter if it's random. If they can influence what you're measuring that's even worse. In the case of radio static, for example, your RNG could be compromised by a another compromised device simply colocated nearby.
- bawolff 2y agoIn the event your adversary knows so much about your procedures that they can tune into the radio used to generate randomness, presumably it would be much easier just to steal the piece of paper the pad is written on. Which does kind of further your point that one time pad makes more secure the parts that are already incredibly secure, while not helping the real weaknesses of cryptosystems i.e. the human element.
