    MoS2mono-layer film covered with speckles of multilayer islands, where the growth process is engineeredfor an optimal speckle density. Using the Clark-Evans test, we confirm that the distributionof islands on the film exhibits complete spatial randomness,i.e.true randomness. Such aproperty is highly desirable for constructing unpredictable cryptographic primitives. The se-curity primitive is an
