CANBERRA, Australia and SAN FRANCISCO, April 24, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- QuintessenceLabs, a leader in the quantum cybersecurity industry, is showcasing its qStream™ Entropy-as-a-Service (EaaS) solution this week at RSAC.

Random numbers are at the core of most decryption algorithms, and it is important for security that the output from random number generators is both unpredictable and has a high enough throughput for commercial use. QuintessenceLabs' qStream™ quantum random number generator (QRNG) delivers numbers with full entropy at 1 Gbit/sec, providing both randomness and speed critical for maximum security.

The qStream QRNG uses quantum physics to create truly random numbers – as opposed to the pseudo-random number generators on the market today – making them virtually unhackable, even by quantum computers. This is critical for sensitive applications where maximum security is desired. The qStream QRNG delivers random numbers through the industry-standard OASIS Key Management Interoperability Protocol (KMIP), enabling interoperability with any conformant key management server, including QuintessenceLabs' Trusted Security Foundation® (TSF®) key and policy manager.

"When it comes to data security, the quality of random numbers has a significant impact on the success of encryption and overall security. True entropy is critical in providing secure encryption keys," said Skip Norton, VP of Business Development for QuintessenceLabs. "Unlike pseudo-random number generators, which don't use quantum science, qStream creates true entropy so the numbers it generates can't be re-created by criminals seeking to compromise encryption."
