Quantum Random Numbers
We help you use truly unpredictable random numbers, generated by quantum physics, to make your keys, passwords and codes harder to guess.
What are quantum random numbers?
Security depends on random numbers. They are used to create encryption keys, passwords, one-time codes and more. If these numbers are even slightly predictable, attackers may be able to guess them.
Most computers create “random” numbers using formulas, which are good but not perfectly unpredictable. A Quantum Random Number Generator (QRNG) uses the natural randomness of quantum physics, which is unpredictable by nature.
QRNGs are available as small hardware devices or as online services, and can be added to existing systems.
A normal computer shuffling a deck of cards follows a recipe, so in theory someone who knows the recipe could predict the order. A quantum generator is like a shuffle done by nature itself: there is no recipe to discover.
Why this is worth your attention
Stronger keys
Encryption is only as strong as the randomness behind its keys.
Easy to add
A QRNG can often be plugged in as an extra source of randomness without redesigning your systems.
Easier to explain
Some industries must show auditors where their randomness comes from. A quantum source makes this simpler to explain.

Questions people often ask
Is my current randomness unsafe? add
Usually it is fine for most uses. A QRNG adds an extra layer of assurance where predictability would be very costly.
Do I need special hardware? add
Not necessarily. Several providers offer quantum random numbers through a secure online service.
Does a QRNG protect against quantum computers? add
It makes keys harder to guess, but it does not replace quantum-safe encryption. The two work best together.
