Contribution

It introduces a novel method of generating cryptographically secure random bits from the CMB power spectrum, expanding the sources for secure key generation.

Findings

CMB radiation can produce effectively infinite random bits.

The CMB power spectrum may meet FIPS 140-2 standards.

Applicable for generating random key matrices for Vernam ciphers.

Abstract

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 to the FIPS 140-2 standard. Additionally, its applicability to the generation of a (n x n) random key matrix for a Vernam cipher is established.
