The cosmic microwave background radiation power spectrum as a random bit generator for symmetric- and asymmetric-key cryptography
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 × n) random key matrix for a Vernam cipher is established.

Asymmetric Beams in Cosmic Microwave Background Anisotropy Experiments
We propose a new formalism to handle asymmetric beams in the data analysis of cosmic microwave background anisotropy experiments. For any beam shape, the formalism finds the optimal circularly symmetric equivalent and is thus easily adaptable to existing data analysis methods. We demonstrate certain key points by using a simulated highly elliptic beam, and the beams and data of the MAXIMA-1 exp...
متن کاملErgodicity and Gaussianity for Spherical Random Fields
We investigate the relationship between ergodicity and asymptotic Gaussianity of isotropic spherical random fields, in the high-resolution (or high-frequency) limit. In particular, our results suggest that under a wide variety of circumstances the two conditions are equivalent, i.e. the sample angular power spectrum may converge to the population value if and only if the underlying field is asy...
متن کاملHow to Encrypt Long Messages without Large Size Symmetric/Asymmetric Encryption Schemes
Suppose that we wish to encrypt long messages with small overhead by a public key encryption scheme which is secure against adaptive chosen ciphertext attack (IND-CCA2). Then the previous schemes require either a large size one-way trapdoor permutation (OAEP) or both a large size symmetric encryption scheme and a small size asymmetric encryption scheme (hybrid encryption). In this paper, we sho...
متن کاملPredictions of mixed non - Gaussian cosmological density fields for the cosmic microwave background radiation
We present simulations of the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation (CMBR) power spectrum for a class of mixed, non-Gaussian, primordial random fields. We assume a skew positive mixed model with adiabatic inflation perturbations plus additional isocurvature perturbations possibly produced by topological defects. The joint probability distribution used in this context is a weighted combination o...
متن کاملForecasting Foreground Impact on Cosmic Microwave Background Measurements
We explore the possible impact of galactic and extragalactic foregrounds on measurements of the cosmic microwave background (CMB). We find that, given our present understanding of the foregrounds, they are unlikely to qualitatively affect the ability of the MAP and Planck satellites to determine the angular power spectrum of the CMB, the key statistic for constraining cosmological parameters.
