New quantum systems provide publicly verifiable randomness for secure communication

“From a security perspective, this approach offers something valuable – the ability to independently verify random numbers has not been compromised,” noted Narayan Gokhale, vice president of QKS Group. “For high-risk applications, verifiability may be important.”

Curby, at its technical core, derives its entropy from the measurement of entangled photons, and its mysterious connection state provides a source of unpredictability for the physical interface. Each measurement was recorded in the password hash chain using the team’s twine protocol, creating a tamper-authorized audit trail. Any attempt to modify past outputs would break the integrity of the chain and immediately expose tampering.

“We have built a system that can be joined to generate and verify randomness without the main obstacles to global scaling,” Kavuri said in an email interview. Kavuri explained in an email exchange that Curby’s distributed architecture is supported by open source Docker, such as the “Beacon-In-aa-box” package, making it easy for institutions to participate.
