Stars as random number generators could test foundations of physics

(Phys.org)—Stars, quasars, and other celestial objects generate photons in a random way, and now scientists have taken advantage of this randomness to generate random numbers at rates of more than one million numbers per second. Generating random numbers at very high rates has a variety of applications, such as in cryptography and computer simulations.

I wonder is such random number generators could be cracked. There’s a difference between the gaps between photons that depends on Temperature (Jeans noise) but there’s also the process of Shot noise and Synchrotron radiation that follow different statistics. Just how different, I’m not sure.
