ETSI helps manufacturers improve quantum random number generators

ETSI has released Technical Report 104 171, offering guidance to manufacturers on improving Quantum Random Number Generators (QRNGs). The report addresses potential weaknesses in QRNG outputs, emphasizing the importance of randomness for cryptographic systems. It covers the entire QRNG lifecycle, including entropy source validation, randomness extraction, operational monitoring, and protection against attacks. The guidance introduces the concept of Entropy Zero Trust and proposes layered controls for enhanced security and trustworthiness throughout the process.
