Independent Quantum Entropy
Achieve Regulatory Compliance with Multi-Sourced Quantum Entropy
Advancing quantum threats are placing today’s encryption under long-term pressure, while sophisticated cyberattacks and AI-driven exploits increasingly target cryptographic weaknesses. In the face of those converging risks, regulators across financial services and government are increasingly focused on entropy source diversification as a foundational control, with emerging requirements pointing toward physics-based quantum entropy. Regulated enterprises are expected to eliminate single point of failure at the very origin of trust and demonstrate verifiable proof of entropy diversification.
External Entropy Ingestion with Fortanix Data Security Manager
Fortanix Data Security Manager (DSM), a next-generation, software-defined HSM with built-in Key Management, is the first enterprise platform to natively integrate multiple independent quantum entropy sources directly into key generation workflows. Trough partnership integrations with Qrypt and Quantum Dice, Fortanix DSM ingests Quantum Random Number Generator (QRNG) entropy as a service, combining external physics-based quantum randomness with internal hardware entropy, following the NIST SP 800-90 series. The entropy inputs are concatenated, conditioned, and used to seed a CTR_DRBG — producing cryptographically strong key material that is demonstrably diversified at the origin.
Because Fortanix DSM has a software-defined architecture, this capability is delivered without hardware disruption. Immutable audit logs provide cryptographic proof of entropy diversification to support compliance mandates and audits. As a result, the Zero Trust is extended all the way down to the entropy layer, eliminating single point of failure at the root of your cryptographic supply chain.
