Patent attributes
A software and hardware infrastructure is provided that can generate traceable and verifiably random number sequences provided from multiple random number sources, including quantum entropy sources, potentially located at multiple points of origin, and distribute the verifiable number sequences across multiple channels and protocols to multiple ultimate destinations in a distributed computing environment. Random number sequences obtained from unique entropy sources can be tagged with information on the provenance and/or other details of the creation of each number sequence. Tags can be used to verify the reliability of each tagged number sequence and/or its associated source. Tags can also include a use indicator to avoid reuse of a tagged number sequence.
