Regarding other RNG products they comment: "However, demonstrably unpredictable values are not possible to obtain in any classical physical context."
What's wrong with any hardware RNG that produces 0's and 1's straight from physics, if these also pass the relevant statistical tests?

- UweSchmidt 13y agoTo clarify: What's wrong with any hardware RNG that produces 0's and 1's straight from observing natural phenomena like "thermal noise, the photoelectric effect, and other quantum phenomena", as wikipedia puts it[1]. How can they do better than that; specifically, what do they mean with "demonstrably unpredictable values"?

- sp332 13y agoFrom the quote you already posted: "in any classical physical context". They're not talking about anything quantum.
