Quside Receives NIST SP800-90B Certification for Photonic Quantum-Based Entropy Sources

Insider Brief

• Quside’s quantum entropy sources have received NIST SP800-90B certification, affirming their quality and security for cryptographic systems.
• The certified technology, based on Quside’s QN 100 photonic quantum chip, generates high-quality randomness at 1 Gbps, essential for secure cryptography.
• The company said the certification positions Quside as a key provider of quantum-safe solutions, helping businesses transition to secure post-quantum cryptography standards.

PRESS RELEASE — Quside, the leading innovator in quantum technologies, proudly announces that its quantum entropy sources have officially received NIST SP800-90B certification. This milestone achievement reinforces Quside’s commitment to advancing quantum-safe solutions and delivering the strongest cryptographic foundation for businesses worldwide.

The NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) SP800-90B certification is a critical recognition of the quality and security of Quside’s entropy source, based on the QN 100 photonic quantum chip. Designed to generate high-quality randomness at a remarkable 1 Gbps, this technology offers an ideal foundation for securing the next generation of cryptographic systems. As businesses begin adopting the newly finalized NIST standards for post-quantum cryptography (FIPS 203, 204, and 205), Quside is at the forefront of the competitive landscape, providing certified, robust solutions that ensure long-term security against quantum threats.

“This certification is a testament to Quside’s leadership in quantum technologies and our ability to deliver products that meet the most stringent security standards,” said Carlos Abellan, CEO at Quside. “Our SP800-90B certified entropy source is a key enabler for implementing secure classical, hybrid, and post-quantum cryptography, helping businesses safeguard their data as we transition to a quantum-safe future.”

As quantum computing capabilities advance, traditional cryptographic methods are becoming increasingly vulnerable. By leveraging quantum effects to produce the highest quality of entropy and by introducing novel entropy monitoring capabilities, Quside’s certified technology helps businesses build the strongest quantum-safe systems today.
