Whitewood Security Information

Whitewood® addresses one of the most fundamental challenges associated with all modern cryptosystems – true random number generation. Whitewood enables its customers to take control of random number generation across their entire application infrastructure. With solutions that span datacenters, cloud, consumer devices and embedded systems our customers are able to ensure that critical security applications can always have access to true random numbers. Without true randomness, applications that rely on cryptography suffer from degraded security. The effectiveness of tools such as encryption depends on generating keys that are impossible to predict. But truly random numbers are hard to generate and in modern virtualized data centers and cloud environments security applications can suffer from a lack entropy; the starting point for all random number generators. Whitewood worked closely with Los Alamos National Laboratory to invent new ways to use quantum mechanics to generate pure entropy. Our award winning technology enables our customers to seamlessly boost the trustworthiness of the standard random number generators built into Linux and Windows operating systems, enhancing the security of custom and commercial applications that rely on them.
