International Telecommunications Union (ITU) Piecing Together Quantum Random Number Generator Standards
International Telecommunications Union (ITU) Piecing Together Quantum Random Number Generator Standards Though quantum random number generation may be naturally secure, caution is needed when making the presumption of complete security. Into the flow of the QRNG numbers, it is possible to inject non-random data. Recent studies indicate potential for eavesdropping attacks on the QRNG. See […]
Secure Random Number Generation May Not be All that Secure
Secure Random Number Generation May Not be All that Secure Interesting eavesdropping attack leaves you wondering just how secure is quantum computing? Certainly quantum physics and quantum mechanics make observation of entangled particles immediately apparent (inherently secure). But we cannot get focused on the “super secure” shiny ball that quantum cryptography is made out to […]
