The “Rock of Randomness”: a physical oracle for securing data off the digital grid

We propose a device to secure random data in analog format, so that it is taken off the digital grid. Such action will turn off the means by which remote hackers violate security.

Zusammenfassung:We propose a device to secure random data in analog format, so that it is taken off the digital grid. Such action will turn off the means by which remote hackers violate security. A physical “rock” manufactured through 3D printing technology, constructed on the basis of high-grade randomness, which is packed into the comprising materials of that rock. The rock functions as an oracle, and does not allow any massive copy of its content. Thus, a major claim of this Prospective is that materials science and engineering may hold the keys to the future of cryptography.
