| Claim your randomized flair here! Posted: 31 Mar 2019 02:26 PM PDT After long and hard work by us moderators, in honor of this cryptography subreddit, we finally have completed a brand new secret state of the art randomness generator, the flaiRNG™, and we now intend to make it available to all of you through letting it set your user flairs in this subreddit. What's so fancy about this randomness generator? It's really clever: first it selects a set of strings uniformly at random from the set of all possible sets of strings, and then it selects a string uniformly at random from that chosen set! While your standard CSPRNG is limited to something as boring as just spitting out a regular bit string indistinguishable from random, our RNG can output anything! We moderators will be operating the RNG during the day, and will assign the flairs generated to the users who post in this thread. An in case you're worried about any risk of sidechannel attacks against the RNG leaking its internal state and thus making future flair outputs predictable, you can help us minimize that risk by re-seeding it by feeding fresh entropy to it here, using secure TLS encryption: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScd7FuaE7kGKJi7ayr9-MyCxCjT2RUWbnh74LEauocORKbYRw/viewform [link] [comments]  |
