Quantum Emotion's Quantum Entropy Source Submitted For NIST Validation

Montreal, Quebec--(Newsfile Corp. - August 26, 2026) - Quantum eMotion Corp. (NYSE American: QNC) (TSXV: QNC) (FSE: 34Q0) ("QeM" or the "Company"), a leader in quantum-secure cybersecurity solutions, today announced that Lightship Security Inc. has completed its independent assessment of QeM's eCore-Q PCIe Quantum Entropy Module and submitted the supporting validation package through the production Entropy Source Validation Test System ("ESVTS") for review under the Cryptographic Module Validation Program ("CMVP").
The submission seeks a standalone Entropy Validation Certificate for the specified entropy-source implementation, version and operating environment. If issued, the certificate would attest conformance with NIST Special Publication 800-90B and applicable CMVP guidance. Submission begins the CMVP review process and does not itself constitute validation; neither the outcome nor the timing of the review is assured.
QeM's quantum entropy is generated by its proprietary QRNG technology, which harnesses inherently unpredictable quantum processes to produce high-quality randomness. NIST SP 800-90B validation would independently confirm the quality of this entropy for use in cryptographic systems.
"This submission marks an important technical milestone for Quantum eMotion," said Francis Bellido, CEO of Quantum eMotion. "It reflects the rigorous work undertaken by our engineering team and Lightship Security to characterize, test and document our entropy-source implementation against the requirements of NIST SP 800-90B. Although CMVP review remains underway, this step advances our efforts to provide independently validated quantum entropy for regulated and security-sensitive applications. This work represents a foundational milestone in QeM's continued development of a broader portfolio of cryptographic cybersecurity products for regulated and security-sensitive markets, where independently demonstrated conformance with NIST and other recognized cybersecurity standards is critical to customer trust and market access."
Upon issuance, the Entropy Validation Certificate will support FIPS 140-3 cryptographic-module submissions that incorporate the validated entropy source in accordance with the certificate's integration requirements.
