NIST SP 800-90B

Recommendation for the Entropy Sources Used for Random Bit Generation

NIST CSRC

NIST SP 800-90B defines design principles, requirements, and validation tests for entropy sources used in random bit generation.

Why it matters

Strong cryptography depends on strong randomness. Entropy sources must be measured, tested, and validated before being trusted for keys, tokens, nonces, and secure systems.

Light Rider relevance

This is one of the most important technical references for Light Rider’s Entropy-as-a-Service platform, Quantum Light devices, and QRNG-based security products.
