Fortanix has announced a major advancement to its encryption and data protection platform by introducing multi-sourced quantum entropy capabilities within Fortanix Data Security Manager (DSM). Through new collaborations with Qrypt and Quantum Dice, the company now integrates independent physics-based quantum entropy sources directly into its key management workflows. As a result, enterprises can diversify the randomness used in encryption key generation while strengthening cryptographic resilience and meeting emerging regulatory requirements.
Encryption remains the foundation of modern digital security. However, as artificial intelligence systems expand and quantum computing technologies evolve, organizations must reassess the strength of their cryptographic foundations. In particular, the randomness or entropy used to generate encryption keys is becoming a critical factor in maintaining secure systems. Consequently, regulators in sectors such as financial services and government are beginning to emphasize entropy diversification as a core element of modern cryptographic assurance frameworks.

To address these challenges, Fortanix enhanced its DSM platform to support multiple independent entropy sources. Traditionally, many encryption systems rely on hardware security modules that generate randomness from a single internal source. While effective in earlier architectures, this approach introduces potential single points of failure. Therefore, Fortanix has adopted a software-defined approach that integrates external quantum entropy providers without requiring changes to existing infrastructure.
“As enterprises rethink their encryption algorithms, they need to examine the very origin of trust in their cryptographic systems,” said Anand Kashyap, co-founder and CEO of Fortanix. “With multi-sourced quantum entropy integrated directly into Fortanix Data Security Manager, we’re eliminating single points of failure at the root of key generation. This innovation enables customers to strengthen compliance posture, improve defense-in-depth, and extend zero trust principles without hardware disruption.”
With this update, the DSM platform can ingest entropy generated from quantum random number generators (QRNGs) provided by external partners. These systems rely on physical quantum processes to generate unpredictable randomness, which significantly strengthens cryptographic key generation. By combining entropy from multiple independent providers, organizations can diversify their root-of-trust infrastructure and reduce systemic cryptographic risk.
The platform introduces several key capabilities designed for enterprise environments. First, organizations can integrate multiple physics-based quantum entropy sources directly into key generation workflows. Additionally, Fortanix provides immutable logging and audit trails that demonstrate entropy diversification for regulatory and compliance requirements. At the same time, the solution supports global scalability and can process billions of transactions while maintaining high security standards.
Another important feature of the system is its compatibility with modern infrastructure environments. Because DSM uses a software-defined architecture, organizations can integrate new entropy sources through APIs without replacing existing hardware systems. This approach allows businesses to maintain crypto agility, enabling them to adopt new cryptographic algorithms or security models without costly upgrades.

Furthermore, encryption keys generated through DSM remain protected within Confidential Computing environments. This design ensures that cryptographic keys are never exposed to host operating systems, administrators, or cloud infrastructure layers, thereby reinforcing zero-trust security principles.
“Fortanix is a critical partner in advancing modern data security, and the addition of Qrypt’s quantum entropy meaningfully strengthens that foundation for the next era of threats,” said Denis Mandich, CTO at Qrypt. “True cryptographic resilience begins with trusted randomness, and by integrating Qrypt’s quantum technology with Fortanix Data Security Manager, this collaboration delivers scalable, high-assurance randomness designed to help organizations address evolving quantum-era risks across distributed infrastructure.”
“Partnering with Fortanix, we are bringing verifiable quantum entropy into enterprise key generation, giving customers trusted randomness with enhanced auditability into the key quality,” said George Dunlop, co-founder and director of partnerships at Quantum Dice. “By integrating our DISC™ QRNG with Fortanix Data Security Manager, organizations gain continuous assurance that their keys are built on a strong and demonstrably reliable foundation.”
With built-in key management, hybrid multicloud support, flexible SaaS or on-premises deployment, and confidential computing protections, Fortanix DSM aims to help organizations maintain cryptographic resilience as emerging technologies such as AI and quantum computing reshape the cybersecurity landscape. By embedding multi-sourced quantum entropy directly into key generation processes, Fortanix is enabling enterprises to strengthen the foundation of digital trust for the next generation of security challenges.
