DoW new PQC policy Overlooks new US Security Technology, used by Adversaries

The Department of War just announced that it phases out pre-shared keys (PSK) quantum resistant cryptography (PQC). On its face this is a prudent policy decision. Pre shared keys live long, and the longer a key lives the greater the chance for it to be compromised. Alas, this bold policy decision leaves the DoW to rely either on unproven NIST or NSA sanctioned key generation algorithms, or on shared qbits. The first relies on an adversary who is not smarter than expected, and the latter limits exchange to a party of two, and uses very delicate equipment.
Missing in the DoW documentation is recognition of a third option, developed by BitMint LLC, patented in the USA, and handled by potential adversaries, based on our literature. The idea is Pre-Shared Rock of Randomness: A nano-technology generated 'rock' holding terabytes of data in non-digital format. Non-digitized data is off limit to digital hackers, eliminating the risk of long lived compromised pre-shared keys. Rock Data is written in the language of chemical bonding, using advanced 3D printing. The Rock cannot be compromised without physically stealing it, so a Rock in place is an un uncompromised Rock.
The Rock of Randomness is manufactured in a preset number of duplicates. Each party to a secrecy sphere gets its duplicate. The parties then exchange in the open algorithms defining how to carve out of the terabyte wealth of data, a particular key, to be used in a strong symmetric algorithm. BitMint patented a few mathematically proven symmetric ciphers used around the world (BitMintalk.com).
The data that drives the 3D-printing of the shared Rock of Randomness is generated by quantum sources. This renders the Rock of Randomness method of key Exchange as functionally equivalent to shared qbits, with clear advantages:
1. No need for in-war stressful use of delicate qbit generators -- the deployed quantum randomness is pre-generated at ease.
2. The Rock is ready to share any number of keys and any amount of key data.
3. The Rock method applies to a large community of secret sharing parties, not limited to binary sharing.
This is a call to DoW officials to stay alert, curious, and proactive. Enquire for details:
