For Security Vendors | Scalable, available, secure RNG API

Among experienced security vendors, random number generators have long gained the reputation of ‘sneaky bad guys’ accountable for a selection of nasty breaches. Many of them will know a story or two about a poorly chosen PRNG compromising an otherwise unbreakable security system. Like no-one else they will know that it’s not only the security algorithm that you use or the length of the key that ultimately matters – but also the quality of every bit comprising that key.

If you are a security vendor, you would also know that getting high-quality, secure random data is exceptionally hard – particularly in an environment that is effectively a bunch of identical, characterless clones, such as VMs, containers, or Cloud workers. In an environment that lacks diversity and happenstance, there is no room for chance, and so no surface for entropy to arise. However strong is the RNG function you use, the lack of entropy will make it run idle.

Specialized hardware solutions exist that close that gap by providing a source of true, rich entropy. Those, however, are bulky and costly to use, particularly where you are looking to build a scalable cloud solution. Aligning cloud infrastructure with a physical RNG rack (or just setting up communication between the two alone) may prove to be quite a challenging task.

This is where Entropy on Tap comes handy. A cloud-friendly, scalable, SaaS or on-prem solution, Entropy on Tap allows to easily integrate its secure random number generation facility with any cloud, hybrid, or traditional project. You can leave the problem of sourcing quality random sequences to us, and focus on the important task that you have at hand.

Entropy on Tap is a highly available, secure random number generator. To source truly random sequences we use a diverse selection of entropy sources that pull from the natural environment. This makes the data we generate fully random and impossible to reproduce.
