Quside receives NIST certification for quantum entropy source
The company’s QN 100 photonic quantum chip is designed to generate high-quality randomness, offering a pathway to quantum-safe encryption
Quantum technology company Quside has announced that its quantum entropy sources have officially received NIST SP800-90B certification. The company says this milestone achievement reinforces its commitment to advancing quantum-safe solutions and delivering the strongest cryptographic foundation for businesses worldwide.
According to Quside, the NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) SP800-90B certification is a critical recognition of the quality and security of its entropy source, based on the QN 100 photonic quantum chip. Designed to generate high-quality randomness at 1 Gbps, the company says this technology offers an ideal foundation for securing the next generation of cryptographic systems. As businesses begin adopting the newly finalised NIST standards for post-quantum cryptography (FIPS 203, 204, and 205), Quside aims to be at the forefront of the competitive landscape, providing certified, robust solutions that ensure long-term security against quantum threats.
“This certification is a testament to Quside’s leadership in quantum technologies and our ability to deliver products that meet the most stringent security standards,” said Carlos Abellan, CEO at Quside. “Our SP800-90B certified entropy source is a key enabler for implementing secure classical, hybrid, and post-quantum cryptography, helping businesses safeguard their data as we transition to a quantum-safe future.”
As quantum computing capabilities continue to advance, traditional cryptographic methods are becoming increasingly vulnerable. By leveraging quantum effects to produce the highest quality of entropy, and by introducing novel entropy monitoring capabilities, Quside says its certified technology helps businesses build the strongest quantum-safe systems today.
