#TRNG #RNG #security #TrueRandomNumbers

Apparently Western-minds don't undstand the difference between *random* and *arbitrary+unpredictable*??

Arbitrary-unpredictable ISN'T true-random..

Nearly-all of the TRNG devices I've just read-about have feedback-systems,
which use A PSEUDO-RANDOM generator or other algorithm, some using elliptic-curve calculations,

.. they're using the true-random-number as the seed/source,
so that they can produce many-times-more *unpredictable* bits..

but .. unpredictable *isn't identical-with* random.

It's functionally-similar,

from normal-user's perspective, & from *normal* security's perspective, they're "the same",
but .. true-random has to be NOT put through something like the Mersene-Twister, or whatever, to multiply the number of unpredictable-bits:

it needs to be left-alone..

( mind-you, all the use-cases being served *are* being served well, with these arbitrary-unpredictable sources, in industry..

it's only in science that I'd, in some use-cases, banish such fakery )

Think of it this-way:

True-random's quantum, & arbitrary-unpredictable's classical.

Sometimes you NEED quantum-behavior, see?
