    Slightly less “Quantum is an advertising term only used when you have nothing innovative” than usual! They’re apparently using a QRNG (Quantum random number generator), instead of the usual CSRNG (Cryptographically Secure pseudoRandom Number Generator). This is hypothetically more secure, but in practice there’s no difference and this is purely a marketing gimmick.

      Yeah how many attacks have there been using the pseudo-randomness of the RNG to break into modern phones? Going to bet none.
