The Cicada 0.5 USB QRNG by Crypta Labs is a hardware-based quantum random number generator housed in a compact 6cm x 2cm x 1cm USB stick. The device operates at a speed of 500Kb/s, delivering 1,950 post-processed random numbers per second. It utilizes a quantum optics module composed of discrete components and features real-time health checks to ensure continuous entropy quality.
Designed for broad application use, the Cicada QRNG emulates a USB device at the hardware level to simplify addressability and system integration. It supports multiple operating systems through pre-compiled drivers for Ubuntu, Windows, and Raspberry Pi, while also allowing developers to compile source code for custom environments using the provided API and Python scripts.
