Integrating Quantum Photonic Noise Sources with NIST SP 800-90B Entropy Testing

Core engineering and protocols for QRNG & Entropy Conditioning.

Overcoming Physical Bias in True Random Number Generators

Physical entropy sources—whether thermal Johnson noise or quantum photonic phase jitter—exhibit inherent analog bias and autocorrelation. Under NIST SP 800-90B, raw noise cannot be used directly; it must be continuously monitored by on-chip statistical health tests and conditioned through a non-cryptographic or cryptographic extraction function.

Fail-Safe Entropy Interlocks in High-Throughput HSMs

MLKEMKey implements hardware interlocks in Verilog and VHDL that supervise the entropy pipeline. If environmental tampering or component failure degrades the min-entropy below H_inf = 7.99 bits per byte, key generation circuits are instantly locked, preventing weak key generation.
