Randomness is exceedingly difficult for humans to generate and very few things are believed to be true random.

My CCP and SCP caught up with each other, so I figured it was time to submit some serious stuff again. I got tired of rebutting the stupid responses, so I took a long break.

Yep. My breaks are prolonged. And I bother to log in . . not very often. - The argument is that all processes are deterministic, however we imperfect beings lack the ability to gather sufficient or relevant information. We make models that estimate outcomes. And then there's cryptographic process, and I wish that I were not pushing 70, and this came more readily to me b/c it's fascinating. In particular asymmetric process: public v private key. regards - c

You're a bit older than I, but not much. In my academic career, I had very little exposure to cryptography. The reality is that computers lacked the power to do it well. So, we didn't.

That's a space that has changed greatly in the decades since.
