Vintage Bit Cryptography

摘要

We propose to use a Random High-Rate Binary (RHRB) stream for the purpose of key distribution. The idea is as follows. Assume availability of a high-rate (terabits per second) broadcaster sending random content. Members of the key group (e.g. {Alice, Bob}) share a weak secret (at least 60 bits) and use it to make a selection of bits from the RHRB stream at an extremely low rate (1 bit out of 10~(16) to 10~(18)).
