The cosmic microwave background radiation power spectrum as a random bit generator for symmetric- and asymmetric-key cryptography

In this note, the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) Radiation is shown to be capable of functioning as a Random Bit Generator, and constitutes an effectively infinite supply of truly random one-time pad values of arbitrary length. It is further argued that the CMB power spectrum potentially conforms...
