RE:RE:RE:RE:ransomware - get realre-read what I wrote. I am not saying the QNRG2 is not useful to encryption, quite the contrary, it is the CORNERSTONE of security. It is also NIST certified as true entropy.
what I am saying is that the QNC chip does not *do* the encryption/decryption, it is done by some other protocol suite that will *depend* on the QNRG2.
not bashing, only trying to clarify the real raison-dtre of the QNRG2

QNRG2 does not provide encryption - thats the first thing to understand. It provides true random entropy, a true random random number.
Existing random numbers generate a number that is not truly random ; from simple int() functions that rely on cpu clock cycles which are easily predicted, to other algorithms that I am not cerebral enough to understand. QNRG2 goes beyond that and uses the environment to generate random numbers.
True randomness in encryption is important since it is the basis on which keys are generated for the function of that encryption. But the QNRG2 does not itself "do" the encryption. It provides the cornerstone upon which it can be guaranteed to be secure.
The NSA doesn't want you to have true randomness as that will make it harder for them if not impossible to real-time decrypt encrypted transmissions. But that encryption will not be within the QNRG2, it will be a protocol suite that provides encryption, using the QNRG2 as a random number generator for keys and other functions
