Cryptography
Cryptography algorithms are widely used on the internet for secure communication and authentication. Some commonly used applications include Transport Layer Security (TLS), WebAuthn, Secure Messaging, and Blockchain Security. These applications generally use one or more of the following cryptographic methods:
- Symmetric Encryption : The same key is used for both encryption and decryption. The Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is one of the symmetric schemes widely used in TLS encryption.
- Asymmetric Encryption : Different keys are used for encryption and decryption, namely the public key for encryption and the private key for decryption. Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) schemes are used in various end-to-end encryption scenarios.
- Message Authentication Codes (MACs) : This involves taking a message and a seed as input and generating a fixed byte tag for the message. It is used to ensure the integrity of the message sent across the internet. The Hash Message Authentication Code (HMAC) is initialized using a hashing algorithm like SHA256, which is used in TLS.
- Key Exchange : This algorithm generates symmetric shared keys. Both parties generate random fixed bit keys on their sides and exchange these values to compute a shared key. This method is used to exchange AES or HMAC keys among two parties.
- Digital Signatures : Digital signatures are widely used on the internet for authentication. They use public/private key pairs to sign digital documents and are widely used in WebAuthn for user authentication.
The use of Quantum Random Number Generators (QRNGs) could be crucial in the field of cryptography due to their ability to produce truly random numbers, derived from quantum mechanical phenomena. This capability is vital for several reasons:
- True Randomness : QRNGs utilize inherent quantum processes such as photon polarization, electron spin, or radioactive decay to generate numbers, which are unpredictable by nature.
- Cryptographic Security : Randomness is essential for the security of cryptographic keys and protocols, which depend on unpredictability to thwart potential attackers.
- Security Against Quantum Threats
- As quantum computing evolves, traditional cryptographic systems become vulnerable. QRNGs provide a layer of security that is quantum-safe, essential for post-quantum cryptography.
- Non-Determinism
- Essence of Quantum Measurements. Quantum phenomena ensure that outcomes are fundamentally non-deterministic, crucial for tasks like secure key generation and cryptographic nonce generation in cryptography.
- Enhanced Privacy and Anonymity
- Application in anonymizing techniques. QRNGs can improve the privacy of communications by providing true randomness necessary for data obfuscation and other privacy-enhancing technologies.
The potential of QRNGs in cryptography leads to their application in various specific use cases in cryptography:

Integrating QRNG in Cryptographic Algorithms
Any cryptographic algorithm consists of a security parameter ( k ). This parameter is used to define the number of bits of security it can provide. It is most commonly used during the key generation phase of any cryptographic algorithm. The key is obtained from a randomness source in the form of bytes and then used in the encryption/signing of data. To utilize randomness from QRNG, the key generation phase of the cryptographic algorithm must fetch bytes of randomness.
Quantum eMotion can be utilized for fetching randomness for the key generation phase by calling the QxEaaS platform and specifying the bytes of data that will be needed. The following table provides the number of bytes of quantum entropy that should be fetched for each of the cryptographic algorithms:
Example applications for ECDSA and RSA using QRNG API can be found in this document below in the Quick Start section.
Random Sampling in Data Analysis
The QRNG API can be used for random sampling in data analysis applications.

- Each data point (i) is assigned a random integer (Q) from the qrng_set.
- The frame for each data point is determined by d a t a f r a m e = Q / r
- This ensures each data point is assigned to a random frame with equal probability.
Stratified Sampling:
- This method requires dividing the data into predefined strata (groups) based on certain characteristics.
- The application would need to determine the number of samples from each stratum based on its proportion in the whole data.
- QRNG can be used to select random data points within each stratum proportionally.
Weighted Sampling:
- The application requests ( ๐ ร Byte Block ) floating-point numbers from the QRNG API, where (N) is the total sample size and ( Byte Block ) is the minimum byte representation of a floating-point number.
- Each data point is assigned a random weight between 0 and 1 based on the generated floating-point numbers.
- The Sampling probability for each data point is directly proportional to its assigned weight.
- Selection algorithms like reservoir sampling can be implemented to choose data points based on their weights.
QRNG API Integration:

Online Lottery with QRNG API
Lotteries are a popular method for resource allocation across various fields, offering a unique approach to distributing scarce resources among a large number of applicants. Traditionally, lotteries ensure randomness and are free from inherent biases, making them an equitable choice especially when the number of indivisible goods is less than the number of applicants. However, not all lottery systems meet the rigorous criteria required to be considered truly fair. A fair lottery system is one where all participants have an equal chance of winning, necessitating absolute randomness and robust security measures to prevent any form of tampering or fraud after the results are announced.
To qualify as fair lottery systems should have the following properties:
- 1Equal Winning Chances: Every participant must have the same probability of winning, which relies on perfect randomness.
- 2Security and Verification: Post-draw, the results must be secure from forgery, and every participant should be able to verify the outcome independently.
The fairness of a lottery largely depends on the security of the system implemented. Most conventional lottery systems rely on the integrity of trusted authorities or complex mathematical algorithms for security. However, such security is conditional and often not sufficient to prevent all forms of manipulation.
Current Solutions in Lottery
Classical cryptographic methods and random number generation often fall short in providing the level of randomness and security needed for an unquestionably fair lottery. However, with the development of quantum randomness, we can expect high entropy randomness that are independent of any previous outcomes.
In addition to that we also need verifiability that the numbers generated from the quantum randomness is not tampered. The implementation of quantum states in form of QRNG generator can enhance functionalities such as Bit commitment.
Quantum Bit Commitment and QRNG
Bit commitment is a fundamental cryptographic protocol involving two parties: a sender (Alice) and a receiver (Bob). In this scheme, Alice commits to a bit value b (either 0 or 1), which she wants to keep hidden from Bob initially while proving that her commitment is locked and unchangeable. At a later stage, Alice reveals the bit to Bob and must convince him that this was the original bit she committed to without having changed it in the interim. Quantum bit commitment can be instantiated with QRNG, Alice can commit to bit b by requesting a random number from a quantum randomness source like QxEaaS and executing a set of operations (like XOR):
Alice sends the commitment along with the randomness to Bob and now he can verify that the randomness received by Alice is not tampered.
In Lottery systems this creates a trustless system where no party has to trust the dealer. Quantum randomness removes the biasness in bit commitment as well as randomness selection. This makes QRNG ideal candidate for creating lottery systems that are not only fair but also unconditionally secure.
Unconditionally Fair Online Lottery with QRNG can be simulated through following ways:
- Users can purchase a set number ๐ of lottery tickets .
- Each ticket holds a unique integer chosen by the user.
- Upon requesting results, the application invokes a QRNG API to generate a random integer.
- A commitment to the random number is created by calling the QRNG API .
- The dealer sends the commitment and the random number to the user
- The user can verify that the dealer has not cheated with the random number generation through the API
- During result declaration the dealer can call the QRNG API to fetch a random number within the range of total number of tickets distributed .
- The dealer creates a commitment of the random number by calling QRNG API .
- Any one can verify that the random number is free from any tampering .
Blockchain
A blockchain acts as a public ledger, recording transactions in sequential blocks without the need for a trusted central authority. This technology also supports smart contracts, which are algorithmically enforced agreements executed on the blockchain.
One of the primary hurdles for widespread blockchain adoption is scalability. Current major blockchains like Bitcoin and Ethereum manage roughly 10 transactions per second, compared to traditional systems like Visa, which can handle approximately 3500 transactions per second. The challenge is to increase transaction throughput while keeping the participation requirements stable and secure, even against adversaries who might control a portion of the network. Currently to tackle the scalability issues Lightning networks has been introduces especially in the context of Bitcoin. It aims to solve these problems by introducing a "second layer" solution that operates on top of Bitcoin's existing blockchain.
The core of the Lightning Network's functionality revolves around the concept of micro payments which costs much less network fees to complete a transaction.
The framework for selecting a transaction in a lightning network is centered around Common Reference String (CRS) which is a random number computed using the hashes of previous blocks. Generation of CRS is based on multiple hash computation to ensure that it has been generated in an unbiased manner.
QRNG in Lightning Networks
QRNGs can be employed in lightning networks to make it much faster as compared to multiple hash computation. Further, the CRS is dependent on previously published blocks which creates a possibility of guessing the next CRS by observing the blockchain. QRNG can be invoked to generate CRS by using it as a seed in the CRS generation formula. This will completely eliminate the dependency of CRS generation on the blockchain state hence removing the predictability factor in block selection.
QRNG for Verifiable Random Functions (VRF) in Proof-of-Stake Blockchains
VRFs are a special type of PRFs with additional verifiability property. This means that while maintaining the secrecy of the underlying key, a user can not only generate a pseudorandom output but also provide a cryptographic proof verifying the correctness of this output. This proof can be validated by any verifier who has the public key, thereby ensuring that the function's output, while random, is also reproducible and authentic..
In the context of Blockchain VRFs are crucial cryptographic tools, particularly for the process known as cryptographic sortition- a process of selecting committee members who play a vital role in consensus mechanisms specially in case of Proof-of-Stake blockchains like Algorand.
Cryptographic sortition and QRNG
Cryptographic sortition is a method that allows users within a blockchain network to be selected privately to participate in the consensus process. This technique was pioneered by Algorand, which uses it to ensure that participants are chosen without their identities being revealed to potential adversaries. The selection process leverages a VRF, which offers both randomness and cryptographic security, ensuring that the selection process is both fair and private.
QRNGs can replace the underlying PRFs if a QRNG generator can satisfy the following properties:
- 1The source of the entropy is of quantum origin.
- 2The quality of the random output is publicly veri๏ฌable without compromising the secrecy of the ๏ฌnal output bit.
The first property can be satis๏ฌed when an entanglement-based QRNG demonstrates that the source is producing a stream of entangled states and the random output is generated from the outcome of projective measurements on these entangled qubits. Here, the entanglement can be veri๏ฌed using Bell inequalities.
Quantum Random Number Generators (QRNGs) are essential tools for generating truly random numbers, leveraging the inherent randomness of quantum mechanical processes. However, a significant challenge arises when we attempt to balance the need for public verifiability with the requirement to maintain secrecy. A single stream of bits from a QRNG, while random, cannot be publicly verified without compromising its secrecy. To address this, a protocol involving dual streams of bits, denoted as ( ๐ ๐ด ) and ( ๐ ๐ต ) , can be employed. These streams are designed to be correlated in specific ways that allow for the public verification of ( ๐ ๐ด ) while ensuring the randomness and secrecy of ( ๐ ๐ต ) .
Achieving both these properties for QRNG can replace the underlying PRNG in Verifiable Random Functions and eliminate any cryptographic security limitations of VRFs specially those related to breaking of underlying hard problems due to quantum attacks.
ZK Proofs
ZK proofs have been widely used in blockchain privacy and scalability. Two of the dominant zero-knowledge proof protocols are zkSNARKs and zkSTARKs. zkSNARKs achieve privacy by using a trusted setup that involves generating private randomness. Additionally, if this private randomness is not discarded, it can affect the security of the entire protocol. On the other hand, zkSTARKs utilize public randomness. QxEAAS can provide unpredictable and disposable randomness to both zkSNARKs and zkSTARKs.
Web3 Gaming and DAOs
QRNG in Web3 Applications:
- Unpredictable Gameplay : Web3 games, especially play-to-earn and metaverse experiences, heavily rely on random number generation for events, item drops, and in-game mechanics. QRNG ensures these elements are genuinely random and exciting for players.
- Fair Distribution : Public participation in Web3, such as random token distributions or prize drawings, requires a trustworthy randomness source to prevent bias. QRNG guarantees a fair and verifiable selection process.
- Trust in Games of Chance : Players in blockchain-based games with financial rewards expect provably fair odds. QRNG establishes tamper-proof randomness, fostering trust and participation.
QRNG Oracle
Generating truly random numbers in blockchain and smart contract environments poses significant challenges due to the deterministic nature of these technologies. Smart contracts and blockchain systems, inherently deterministic, cannot generate random numbers by themselves, necessitating external solutions.
The current sources of randomness in blockchain are:
- Blockchain RNG: Utilizing the block hash as a source of randomness introduces vulnerabilities. Miners or validators can potentially manipulate outcomes by choosing which transactions to include or exclude in a block. This method, while convenient, is not secure enough for high-value applications.
- Pseudo-Random Number Generation (PRNG): Traditionally used in smart contract applications, PRNG algorithms use mathematical formulas to generate numbers that appear random. However, PRNG is deterministic; if the seed value or secret key is exposed, the "randomness" can be predicted, making it susceptible to attacks.
RANDAO and VRF are some of the PRNG-based oracle services. While they aim to decentralize randomness generation, their security and decentralization are only as robust as the entities controlling the oracles and the participants in the network. They are vulnerable to Sybil attacks, where a small number of entities might control multiple nodes to influence outcomes.
Leveraging quantum mechanical phenomena, QRNG offers a non-deterministic approach, producing truly random numbers. This method relies on the inherent unpredictability of quantum processes, making it the most secure form of RNG available.
Since direct on-chain generation of random numbers is unfeasible, RNG is typically implemented through oracles that provide external data to smart contracts. However, this introduces the need for trust in third parties, which can be a point of failure.
Due to its non-deterministic nature, QRNG is inherently secure and resistant to manipulation, making it ideal for applications that require high levels of randomness and security.
Security Considerations:
- Secure QRNG API Communication : The application should only interact with reputable QRNG providers using secure protocols (HTTPS) to prevent man-in-the-middle attacks.
- Oracle Security : The oracle itself should be a secure and reliable service. It can be implemented as a decentralized application for enhanced trust.
- Smart Contract Security : The smart contract logic for handling randomness must be thoroughly audited to ensure it functions as intended and cannot be manipulated.
Benefits:
- Verifiable Randomness : QRNG integration provides a verifiable source of randomness for Web3 applications, fostering trust and transparency.
- Fairness : It ensures fairness in games of chance, random token distributions, and other public participation events within DAOs or gaming applications.
- Unpredictable Gameplay : QRNG introduces a layer of true randomness into Web3 games, enhancing the overall player experience.
Generative NFTs
Generative NFTs utilize algorithms to create unique digital art pieces. However, these algorithms often rely on pseudo-random number generation, which can be predictable and lead to repetitive elements. QRNG disrupts this by offering a verifiable source of randomness, resulting in truly unique and unpredictable art.
Benefits of QRNG in Generative NFTs:
- Unparalleled Uniqueness : QRNG eliminates repetitive patterns and ensures each generated NFT is truly one-of-a-kind.
- Verifiable Provenance : The recorded QRNG data provides a permanent record of the NFT's creation process, fostering trust and transparency.
- Exciting Collector Experience :The element of surprise and true randomness adds a new dimension to collecting generative NFTs.
