Quantum True Random Number Generator at International Defence Industry Exhibition MSPO
Next week, researchers from the Institute of Optoelectronics of WAT, TELDAT and NASK will showcase a solution using quantum phenomena to generate random numbers. The device, which will be tested at NASK after the exhibition, will make users independent of available software solutions that generate random numbers using algorithms.
The quantum random number generator is a key component of the quantum key distribution system—but its potential applications go beyond that. This generator can also support advanced cryptographic solutions across various sectors, including military, finance, and telecommunications.
The True Random Number Generator relies on a physical quantum process to produce random numbers. As a result, each generated bit is completely unpredictable, immune to environmental changes, and yet verifiable in terms of operational integrity.
A cybersecurity framework to GUArantee Reliability and trust for Digital service chains (GUARD)
Our solution ensures the security of organizations’ digital service chains. Despite operating under uncertainty, despite technical and business barriers and limitations. Check out how this is possible.
The generator was developed as part of the project “Optical Technologies of Quantum Cryptology for Data Protection in Data Communication Networks”, led by the Military University of Technology (leader) in collaboration with TELDAT and NASK National Research Institute. The project is funded by the National Centre for Research and Development (NCBiR) under the 1/SZAFIR/2020 competition.
The generator’s official premiere took place on September 5–8, 2023, during the International Defence Industry Exhibition (MSPO) in Kielce.
