This is from Dan Boneh's Coursera Lectures - Week 6 - Constructions. https://www.coursera.org/learn/crypto/lecture/nTRhL/constructions
Here he picks a random x from X. And then Hashes X to get the session key k from K
k = H(x).
Why not just pick a random k from K instead of first picking x from X & then hashing it to get k? What is the necessity of the Hashing function here?
