Building Reliable Entropy Datasources
In support of cryptographic operations within a large enterprise environment, a solution was developed to generate and deliver high-quality entropy using both pseudo-random (PRNG) and cryptographically secure (CSRNG) random number generators. The project provided flexible, auditable entropy sources for downstream applications that required secure initialization vectors, keys, and tokens.
Ensuring cryptographic integrity with reliable entropy sources.

The Challenge
- Inconsistent entropy quality across systems
- No centralized, auditable source of randomness
- Hard to trace or verify entropy usage for compliance
- Lack of flexibility for different application needs

The Solution
- Built a CSRNG + PRNG entropy provisioning platform
- Offered configurable entropy length and type per request
- Logged all entropy access with metadata and timestamps
- Provided APIs to integrate with secure systems

The Results
- Standardized entropy generation across the org
- Increased confidence in cryptographic operations
- Improved traceability and audit readiness
- Reduced developer complexity with self-service APIs

Tools & Technologies
- .NET Core
- CSRNG from OS-level sources
- MongoDB and Postgres for logging and access tracking
- REST API interface
