Cryptographic keys are only as strong as the randomness beneath them; software and embedded RNGs suffer entropy starvation, and field data shows roughly one in 172 RSA certificates is factorable from weak-entropy reuse. Because Real Random's entropy is physical and non-photonic, it serves as the diversifying third source in multi-source entropy architectures, eliminating the common-mode risk of a single optical paradigm. Output has passed NIST SP 800-22, Dieharder, and Fourmilab; NIST ESV certification is underway with atsec. The company holds 9 U.S. patents and 36+ international rights across 11 countries through 2042, and was named a Gartner Cool Vendor in Data Security (2025). Deployments include Glacier Security and a five-year University of Tampa agreement; a CapGemini Army communications pilot is in development. Real Random manufactures patented electromechanical True Random Number Generators (TRNGs): physical dice suspended in viscous fluid, agitated and read optically. It is the only commercially available non-photonic physical entropy source, delivered as Entropy-as-a-Service (EaaS) over an API and as a 2U appliance and C-3 portable unit. MADE IN THE USA!
