Quantum random number generator vs. random number generator

A random number generator produces a periodic sequence of numbers on a computer. The starting point can be random, but after it is chosen, everything else is deterministic. A random number generator produces a periodic sequence of numbers on a computer. The starting point can be random, but after it is chosen, everything else is deterministic. This paper presents the entropy and p-value tests performed on classical and quantum random number generators, in order to check the randomness of the generated output data. Both generators have been integrated in software applications reproducing asymmetrical cryptosystems, their results contributing to the generation of key material within Diffie-Hellman protocol. Can regard these tests as a first step in determining if a generator is suitable for a particular cryptographic application. At the same time, the statistical tests cannot serve as a substitute for cryptanalysis.
