Fox-IT, Experts in IT Security

In a large number of high-security scenarios, truly random data is required to ensure the security of a system. This random data is used, for instance, to generate secret keys and challenges. In order to guarantee the security of the system, it is vital that the random data used is truly unpredictable. The only way to produce truly random data is to use a True Random Number Generator as a source.

The Fox RandomCard is a PCMCIA card that contains a hardware-based True Random Number Generator (TRNG). This TRNG is also the basis for a large number of products built specifically for the Dutch government to protect their State Secrets.

The Fox RandomCard itself is bundled with a software library and API for use on the system that the Fox RandomCard uses. This API enables developers to tightly integrate the Fox RandomCard into any system.

We can also provide a Random Generation Workstation which is ready for a production environment. The Random Generation Workstation is a pre-installed system combined with a Fox RandomCard that can be used as an offline generation station for random data. It is ready for integration within an existing system.

The Dutch Intelligence Service, the AIVD, has classified the Fox RandomCard as providing random numbers to the level of 'State Secret. Secret'.
