As you all know, the UK tried to force Apple to give them a secret mass surveillance capability, not just for UK citizens, but Apple users globally. As a result, Apple disabled "Ad…

Another sealed computing use case that is public: https://developer.android.com/about/versions/pie/security/ck... And this one: https://security.googleblog.com/2022/10/SecurityofPa…

Just throwing it out there... if the radio is a problem, I'd love for Paul and friends to replace both the radio and avalanche source with an "infinite noise multiplier", which I f…

Still, a USB phy is required. How would you solve this problem? Would a FTDI USB chip be more palatable?

The channel hoping is just a bit of software. It costs $0.00 in additional hardware. Software complexity is a big deal in a TRNG. The KISS rule applies big-time here. The more comp…

There are plenty of decent sources of entropy, like webcams and sound cards. However, they all add parts we don't need, and they don't take any care to design with security in mind…

Every TRNG I've seen so far that uses "zener noise" is actually using the reverse breakdown voltage across the emitter-base junction of a cheap NPN transistor. This is a zener diod…

Is it possible for this device to transmit over radio, or only receive? I certainly prefer only being able to receive, as transmitting seems like an attack vector. With the assumpt…

Note: I've only glanced at NeuG, so this is an over-simplified repy. Neug relies on a few different A/D inputs as a noise source. The resolution of the A/Ds is only 12 bits, meanin…
