“From a security perspective, this approach offers something valuable – the ability to independently verify that random numbers haven’t been compromised,” noted Narayan Gokhale, vice president at QKS Group. “For high-stakes applications, that verifiability can be important.”
At its technical core, CURBy derives its entropy from measurements of entangled photons, whose mysteriously linked states provide a physics-grounded source of unpredictability. Each measurement is recorded in a cryptographic hash chain using the team’s Twine protocol, creating a tamper-evident audit trail. Any attempt to modify past outputs would break the chain’s integrity, immediately exposing the tampering, stated the report.
“We’ve built a system anyone can join to generate and verify randomness, with no major barriers to global scaling,” Kavuri said in an email interview. Kavuri explained in the email exchange that CURBy’s distributed architecture, supported by open-source Docker-based tools like the “beacon-in-a-box” package, makes it easy for institutions to participate.
