Section 5 says:
Given that new SHA-256 hashes are not sequential but fully random, replay attacks of future predictions are prevented.
It should say:
Given that new SHA-256 hashes are not sequential but significantly hard to predict, replay attacks of future predictions are prevented unless the attacker has sufficient computing power to fully model all possible pseudo-random number generators and thereby predict all possible hashes within a sufficiently short time.
Notes:
Thank you for citing RFC6709. However, I have shown** that the concept of randomness is a fallacy - in fact, what we call "randomness" is nothing other than unpredictability by a Turing machine within a finite time. An LLM is subject to this same constraint like any other Turing machine program. I suspect that this observation shows that FLIP is a flop.
