Quantis QRNG Product Certifications

A random number generator must be inherently reliable, as the security of cryptographic systems depends directly on the quality of entropy. Predictable randomness creates systemic vulnerabilities.

ID Quantique applies rigorous design, testing, and validation methodologies to its Quantis QRNG technology, aligned with the most demanding international standards. Because all Quantis products rely on the same certified quantum entropy source, these certifications apply across the entire product portfolio.

NIST ESV IID Certification

IDQ’s Quantis QRNG chips have received NIST Entropy Source Validated (ESV) Certification on the Independent and Identically Distributed (IID) entropy estimation track. This certification offers the highest attainable security and robustness level for the generation of random bits. This means that NIST has verified that the random numbers produced by the chips are independent and uniformly distributed, providing very high quality of entropy. IDQ’s QRNG chips are all based on a physical noise source that fully meets the requirements of NIST SP 800-90B.

This certificate will also facilitate IDQ’s customers’ efforts to integrate IDQ’s chips into their own devices and obtain certification through NIST’s Cryptographic Module Validation Program (CMVP).

Common Criteria Certification (ANSSI)

IDQ’s Quantis QRNG chip (IDQ20MC1) has been certified under the Common Criteria framework by ANSSI (certificate ANSSI‑CC‑2026/01), providing independent validation that its design, implementation, and entropy generation meet stringent security requirements. This evaluation confirms the robustness of the quantum entropy source against advanced attack scenarios, including physical and side‑channel threats, and demonstrates that the technology can be trusted in high‑assurance environments such as space and other mission‑critical infrastructures.

Statistical Test Suite Compliance

Quantis products have been submitted to NIST compliant test suite and successfully passed all following statistical tests:

• • Dieharder v3.31.1
  • NIST SP800-22 rev 1.a April 2010
  • NIST SP800-90

Application-specific certifications

Automotive qualification (AEC‑Q100)

Quantis IDQ6MC1 have also obtained AEC-Q100 certification, demonstrating they can reliably be embedded in any security system of a connected car to ensure trusted and secured in-vehicle and V2X communications, providing the highest level of cyber-security for connected cars.

Space qualification (ECSS standards)

Quantis IDQ20MC1-S chips are designed and tested to ECSS-Q-ST-60-13 versions Class 1 and Class 3 for use in space. These quantum random number generator devices for space and military, meet the harsh requirements needed to survive in mission critical satellite use cases.
