Could you explain what the acronyms "ADC" and "LOB" mean here ? I [and] I might guess that LOB = Low Order Bits.
Now, I'm way (WAY) over my head on this forum wrt crypto. However, an idea -- ADC might mean Analog Digital Converter. LOB might mean Low Order Bit (singular). So, IPG may just be watching the LOB of an off-the-shelf analog input card. Rash speculation, of course. However, if true, a Novitiate Crypto Wizard might be prompted to ask: "Assuming I use an audio source to drive the ADC, which of the following would yield higher entropy?: * Greatfull Dead * Al Gore speeches * The Beatle's White album (at 78, backwards) * The hiss after the local AM station shuts down for the night.
