Does Privacy Require True Randomness?
posted by coderman at 2006-08-22 17:01

coderman: yes.
coderman: "Hence, to a large extent, true randomness is inherent for encryption: either the key length must be exponential in the message length b, or one can deterministically extract nearly b almost unbiased random bits. In particular, the one-time pad scheme is essentially "universal"."
coderman: so, i'd still like to use xstore with dcbias=7, no whitening, no string filter, 8 byte reads mixed/compressed with xcrypt. but if that introduces correlation perhaps a paltry whitened, filtered 10Mbps feed will have to suffice, instead of a 200+Mbps torrent.
