Random numbers are the invisible force powering encryption, digital authentication, and secure communication across every online system, from e-commerce checkouts to IoT networks. But here’s the catch: nearly all of these numbers aren’t truly random.
They’re pseudorandom—generated by mathematical algorithms that, while hard to predict, are ultimately deterministic. And that’s a serious vulnerability in a world racing toward quantum computing.
Entropy refers to the level of unpredictability or randomness used in generating cryptographic keys and security tokens. High entropy means more secure encryption because it’s harder for attackers to guess or reproduce. Poor-quality entropy can create predictable patterns that make systems vulnerable to attacks, especially by powerful future technologies like quantum computers.
As quantum computing inches closer to reality, traditional encryption methods like RSA and ECC are increasingly at risk. These systems depend on predictable algorithms that quantum processors could break in minutes.
Post-quantum cryptography (PQC) promises better protection, but it also demands much higher volumes of high-quality randomness than current systems can reliably deliver.
Traditional entropy sources, whether algorithmic or hardware-based, struggle to keep up. And when entropy fails, so does your security.
Real Random is redefining cryptographic security with a new class of entropy generation hardware—rack-mounted or portable systems that simulate unpredictable natural phenomena to produce truly random numbers. Unlike algorithmic systems, these devices use electromechanical processes to physically generate entropy, verified through optical imaging of Brownian motion.
Key benefits include:
Real Random’s hardware is production-ready with enterprise-class specs:
Unlike boutique solutions like Cloudflare’s “Wall of Entropy,” Real Random is engineered to scale with cloud-based Entropy-as-a-Service (EaaS) and hardware built for global data centers.
Whether you’re securing:
Real Random provides the missing piece: verifiable, high-quality entropy that meets the extreme demands of PQC and modern zero-trust architectures.
The quantum threat is no longer theoretical—it’s on the horizon. As attackers grow more sophisticated, your organization’s security depends on starting with a trusted source of entropy.
If you’re responsible for securing systems in finance, healthcare, IoT, or critical infrastructure, now is the time to act.
