Quantum Random Number Generator (QRNG)
Silicon-Integrated Quantum Entropy Source for 6G Security
Hardware silicon circuit generating true, mathematically unpredictable random numbers from quantum photon fluctuations for cryptographic keys.
Technical Explanation
Classical pseudo-random number generators (PRNGs) are deterministic algorithms vulnerable to reverse engineering by advanced supercomputers. The Quantum Random Number Generator (QRNG) is integrated directly onto 6G baseband and security chips. By measuring the quantum phase fluctuations of photons emitted by an on-chip micro-LED or quantum shot noise in tunneling diodes, it generates true physical entropy that is provably random according to quantum mechanics.
Key Functions
- Generates provably true, non-deterministic random numbers from quantum physics
- Supplies entropy pools for post-quantum encryption keys, nonces, and certificates
- Integrates into compact smartphone silicon with low power and cost
- Shields 6G security handshakes from algorithmic predictability attacks
