Key Features

Quantum Entropy

True quantum mechanical randomness from shot noise and photon detection, not algorithmic PRNG.

Up to 1 Gbps

From 2 Mbps (USB) to 1 Gbps (network-attached) conditioned full-entropy output across form factors.

Health Monitoring

Continuous self-testing with automatic failover ensures entropy quality.

Drop-In Integration

Drop-in replacement for /dev/random, OpenSSL RAND, or direct API.

Available Form Factors

Choose the deployment model that fits your infrastructure.

ModelTargetDescriptionThroughputInterfacePower
QuantaRNG-USB Pro Portable Compact USB device (30 x 18 x 8 mm, aluminum 6061-T6) for laptops, workstations, and development environments. Plug-and-play, no drivers required. 2 Mbps USB 2.0 Full-Speed (HID + CDC) Bus Powered (50 mA)
QuantaRNG-PCIe Server / DC High-performance PCIe card for servers, HSMs, and data center infrastructure. Low-profile option for 1U. 1 Gbps PCIe x16 10W TDP
QuantaRNG-NET Enterprise / Cloud Network-attached appliance providing entropy-as-a-service. Multi-source aggregation with redundant power and Ethernet. 1 Gbps Dual 1GbE Redundant PSU

All throughput figures are conditioned output rates (post-SP 800-90B health testing and conditioning). QuantaRNG-USB Pro uses shot noise from a reverse-biased semiconductor junction with AES-CBC-MAC conditioning. QuantaRNG-USB Pro: $39.99 USD. PCIe and NET models available for evaluation.

Use Cases

True quantum randomness enables security and applications impossible with pseudo-random sources.

ApplicationDescription
Cryptographic Key GenerationGenerate truly unpredictable keys for AES, RSA, and PQC algorithms. Essential for HSMs, PKI, and certificate authorities.
Financial ServicesHigh-frequency trading randomization, Monte Carlo risk simulations, and transaction ID generation for fraud prevention.
Gaming and LotteriesRegulatory-compliant randomness for online casinos, national lotteries, and provably fair gaming platforms.
Government and DefenseCNSA 2.0 compliant entropy for classified communications, military systems, and national security infrastructure.
Cloud InfrastructureSolve VM entropy starvation. Feed /dev/random pools across thousands of containers and virtual machines.
Scientific ResearchQuantum physics experiments, drug discovery simulations, climate modeling, and unbiased statistical sampling.

Integration Interfaces

QuantaRNG works with your existing infrastructure. Drop-in support for standard entropy interfaces means you can upgrade from software PRNGs without code changes.

InterfaceDescription
Linux /dev/randomKernel module feeds entropy directly to the system random pool
OpenSSL 3.x ProviderNative OpenSSL 3.x provider for direct RAND integration
PKCS#11 InterfaceStandard cryptographic token interface for HSM integration
REST APINetwork-accessible entropy for distributed systems (QuantaRNG-NET)

Example: Python API

from quantarng import QuantaRNG

# Initialize device
rng = QuantaRNG()

# Get random bytes for key generation
key_material = rng.get_bytes(32)

# Get random integers for simulations
random_int = rng.get_int(0, 1000000)

# Check entropy health status
if rng.health_check():
    print("Entropy source healthy")

# Stream entropy to /dev/random
rng.feed_system_entropy(rate_mbps=10)
