Comment on Random Numbers from Hard Problems: LWE Based Toy RNG

Comments

The nice thing about Blum-Blum-Shub or Blum-Micali is that they come with a proof of security. Even then, they tend to be impractical, due to performance and side channels.

This one is missing the most important part, the proof. Indeed, a sibling comment notes that empirical results look pretty flawed.
