Also this article doesn't touch on whether the randomness generated is sufficiently random for cryptographic purposes. With enough error correction and an improper random distribution, it can become possible to break even OTP.

The paper also mentions that the randomness they are using passes the Diehard and NIST randomness tests, so it appears they are pretty random. Apparently, though, they have to sacrifice some of the bits in order to ensure that! It references "Supplements" E and F, saying they include more details, but they're not included in the arXiv paper. Of course, the original random patterns used to generate the keys are randomly selected too, so let's hope they're using a good random source for that...
