Wow. Wow. WOW! This is so damn ingenious. Bravo. My hat off to them.
Random numbers. Yes, we don’t give them much thought.
But, we rely on them, like never before, for our Internet Security — ENCRYPTION.
Way back, 1971-1974, when I was doing my Computer Technology degree we had to write programs to generate random numbers. But, that was such a long time ago. We just generated short numbers. It was still early days of computing, & I will confess we, as young students, really had no idea why random numbers were that important. I, for one, had never heard of encryption, in today’s context, in those days.
This is so brilliant. Wonder who came up with it? Whether they patented it.
Wow. Humans are so damn clever.
This came up as an automatic YouTube recommendation for I, last night. YouTube AI is getting pretty damn smart too.
Wow. Wow. Wow! I am still in awe.
