Truly random for maximum security strength

In cryptography, the quality of the random numbers used directly determines the security strength of the system. The quality of the random number generator influences how difficult it is to break certain security assumptions of the system.

By generating random numbers through a process that is based entirely on quantum mechanics, the NIST Randomness Beacon is able to generate a value that is truly random to a degree that has never before been achieved in computing.

In short, good random numbers are fundamental to almost all secure computer systems.
