Overview

The QRNG API offers access to high-quality quantum randomness for various applications, such as cryptography, random sampling, online games, and blockchain technology.

Users can retrieve entropy from the service by sending an HTTP request to the REST API, including their access token, and specifying the desired number of fixed-byte blocks of entropy.
The access token, serving as user identification, Bearer token is provided in the HTTP "Authorization" header. Upon request, the API returns data in a JSON-encoded format, comprising an array of base64-encoded strings.
Each string corresponds to a fixed-byte block of entropy, accompanied by an integer indicating the number of strings in the array.

Introduction

Randomness finds widespread utility across diverse domains including simulations, cryptographic protocols, random sampling, Generative AI, and online games. The randomness in current applications is sourced through deterministic algorithms called Pseudorandom Number Generators (PRNGs), which inherently lack true randomness due to their deterministic nature.

PRNGs operate predictably; given knowledge of the algorithm and initial state called the seed, one can forecast subsequent outputs.

True Randomness

We need true randomness because it ensures each generated number is independent and unpredictable, offering robust security guarantees, better sampling, unpredictable lottery results, and non-repetitive Generative AI Image Generation.

A key challenge with TRNGs is the difficulty in quantifying the quality of the randomness they produce.

True Randomness from Quantum Random Number Generators (QRNGs)

The principles of quantum mechanics offer unique tools to measure and guarantee the quality of randomness, a crucial attribute in generating random numbers for secure cryptographic applications. The maturity of current quantum technology allows for the creation of high-quality random numbers suitable for use in unconditionally
secure cryptography.

These random number generators, known as Quantum Random Number Generators (QRNGs), leverage quantum sources to produce certifiable randomness.

The fundamental operation of Quantum Random Number Generators (QRNGs) is based on the probabilistic nature of quantum mechanics, particularly through the measurement of quantum bits (qubits) in superposition.

A qubit is the basic unit of quantum information which can be in a state known as superposition, where it simultaneously holds multiple states.

When a qubit in a superposition state is measured, it randomly collapses to one of the possible states (0 or 1). The probabilities of these outcomes are determined by the state of the qubit before measurement, but the actual outcome is fundamentally random.
This inherent unpredictability in the outcome of qubit measurement is what QRNGs exploit to generate random numbers. Each measurement of a qubit results in a truly random state, either 0 or 1, due to the quantum phenomenon of superposition and subsequent state collapse.

QRNG can offer certified true randomness, which can be applied to applications where true randomness is central to its quality. The table below describes the benefits of QRNG in various sectors:
