Lava lamps - cryptographic powerhouse - Cloudfare

[belham2]

Awhile back, I switched to Cloudfare (1.1.1.1, 1.0.0.1) for several DNS-related reasons.

Cloudfare does things a bit differently.

One of the things they do differently is this: the "groovy" hardware connection at Cloudfare between lava lamps and 'superpowered cryptographic' implementation when it comes to us web surfers remaining random and protected when logging into any website on the 'Net.

Here's the short article on Wired Magazine:

"How a Bunch of Lava Lamps Protect Us From Hackers"
Author: Ellen Airhart, security, 07.29.18, 08:00 am

"Edward Craven Walker lived to see his greatest invention, the lava lamp, make its late-’90s cultural comeback. But the British tinkerer (and famed nudist, incidentally) died before he could witness the 21st-­century digital potential of his analog creation. Inside the San Francisco office of the web security company Cloudflare, 100 units of Craven Walker’s groovy hardware help protect wide swaths of the internet from infiltration.

Here’s how it works. Every time you ........"

RNG is a key security capacity.

Now who is going to create randomly mutating OS that reboots objectless unpredictability into a variety of different security profiles?

That should keep the tin hats busy for a while ...

Personally don't use cryptography directly. There is one non random, predictable hackability in each OS ...

Q: Who guessed what it is?

A: Us end users ...

And they're using a geiger-counter too. An old scheme for seeding randoms was to use two geiger-counters, one set up for alpha radiation and the other for beta. Nice coin-flipper .

Wait, hasn't that 'randomly mutating OS that reboots objectless unpredictability..." already been created long ago?

As in Mr. Big Pants, in Redmond, WA?

Well, ok, we need to take the "security" word out of your sentence. But, then, me thinks it aptly applies

I am obsessed with RNG and I love the implementation
Adding a geiger counter was used in the film A Beautiful Mind - which is based on a true event ... sort of - good film
