Tesla Cryptography

Elon Musk upended the automotive industry by pivoting from gas to battery. A similar turn is budding in cryptography: for decades cryptographic vehicles were gassed-up by mathematical complexity. Out of the blue a new way to project security comes forth: randomness — in overwhelming quantities supplied by the users themselves, (pre-shared and unilateral). It’s inconvenient to handle oodles of random data, but it shifts the control back to the user who decides how much security to project simply by deciding how much randomness to throw in. Mathematical complexity hinges on the assumption that the attacker is not smarter and not better equipped than expected, alas you never know! With enough randomness you can sleep quietly at night because randomness is immunized against the most powerful attackers. Tesla Cryptography is a level-playing field, privacy for all!

Here is how it works: today we play a guessing game with two dice, one throws them, the other guesses the outcome between 2 and 12. In this game the best mathematicians win, they always guess 7, which is 6 times more likely than, say 12, or 2. We now change the game to playing with a single die — and thereby we neuter any math advantage. The randomness of the die ensures that anyone, smart or dumb, with quantum computer, or without — is guessing right, no more and no less than 1/6 times on average.
