cryptography (noun). The discipline concerned with communication security (eg, confidentiality of messages, integrity of messages, sender authentication, non-repudiation of messages, and many other related issues), regardless of the used medium such as pencil and paper or computers.
This community is for links about and discussion of cryptography specifically. For privacy technology more generally, use !privacy.
This community is explicitly not about cryptocurrency; see !crypto for that.

This sounds kind of bogus and there has already been some work on this topic. See for example the entropy distillation phase of Fortuna:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fortuna_(PRNG)
The only bogus thing here is your baseless insinuation and false comparison.
You are insinuating that MEGARAND is built upon Fortuna or a copycat thereof. That insinuation is false. By calling my work, 'bogus' you are casting a baseless barb, or a slander against my work.
You are attempting to dissuade readers from examining the work by labeling it with a negative label. And you are also attempting to promote Fortuna instead, when Fortuna has nothing to do with my work. Anyone taking your false comment at face value would be dissuaded from reading my work.
