PRODUCT
ENTROPX — A self-auditing entropy engine on a USB drive.
Price: $1,024.00 CAD
Tagline: "Don't trust us. Test it yourself."
WHAT THE CUSTOMER GETS
A USB drive containing:
- ENTROPX — 8-source multiplicative composition entropy engine
- Sinai billiard
- Whirlwind vortex
- Cycling detectors (golden ratio phase)
- Magnetic gauntlet
- Dwell sequence
- Randomized stopping
- Spinning surfaces (Φ / Ψ / log(10)/log(42) ratios)
- Target miss
- Multiplicative composition across all 8 sources
- Output: continuous stream of NIST-quality random data
- NISTX — Built-in NIST SP 800-22 audit suite
- Full 15-test statistical audit
- Quick 3-test check (under 2 seconds)
- Customer runs the audit themselves, anytime, on demand
- No external connection required
- Results displayed locally — nothing leaves the device
- Documentation
- Architecture description (8 sources explained)
- How to run NISTX
- How to interpret results
- How to extract random data for external use
WHAT SHIPS ON THE USB
/entropx/
entropx_engine.py — entropy generator
nistx_engine.py — NIST SP 800-22 wrapper
assess — compiled NIST STS binary
templates/ — NIST test templates
README.md — usage guide
run_audit.sh — one-command full audit
run_quick.sh — one-command quick check
generate.sh — generate N bits of entropy to file
LICENSE — patent pending notice
RESULTS/ — customer's audit results stored here
HOW THE CUSTOMER USES IT
- Plug in USB
- Run
./generate.sh 1000000— generates 1 million bits of entropy - Run
./run_audit.sh— full NIST 15-test audit (~22 seconds) - Read results in RESULTS/ — 15 p-values, pass/fail per test
- Use entropy output for whatever they need — crypto keys, simulations, seeding, gaming
No install. No dependencies beyond Python 3. No internet. No account. Plug in and go.
COMPETITIVE POSITION
| Feature | TrueRNG V3 ($50) | Quantis ($1,100) | ENTROPX ($1,024) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Entropy source | 1 (avalanche) | 1 (quantum optics) | 8 (multiplicative) |
| Self-auditing | No | No | Yes (NISTX built in) |
| Customer can verify | No | No | Yes |
| NIST certified | Dieharder only | Yes (vendor) | Yes (on-device) |
| Open architecture | Partial | No | Yes |
| Requires install | Driver | Driver + library | Nothing |
| Internet required | No | No | No |
The gap: $100-$1,100 is nearly empty. ENTROPX sits at $1,024 — under Quantis, above commodity, with a feature (self-auditing) nobody else offers.
The pitch: "Every other entropy device asks you to trust their certification. ENTROPX ships with the test suite. You prove it works. Every time. On your machine. No trust required."
FIRST PROTOTYPE — TEST PLAN
Hardware: Captain's USB drive
Software: ENTROPX + NISTX from csdm-node
Steps:
- Format USB drive
- Copy entropx_engine.py, nistx_engine.py, compiled NIST assess binary, templates
- Write run_audit.sh (one-command launcher)
- Write generate.sh (entropy generation to file)
- Write README.md
- Test on Chromebook: plug in, run generate, run audit, verify 15/15
- Test on a second machine if available
- Log results
Success criteria: 13/13 valid NIST tests pass on entropy generated FROM the USB on a machine that is NOT csdm-node. The entropy engine must work portably.
FUTURE VERSIONS
| Version | What changes | Price |
|---|---|---|
| v1 (now) | Software PRNG on USB | $1,024 |
| v2 | Jetson Nano with physical sensors replacing simulations | $2,048 |
| v3 | Custom PCB, miniaturized, USB form factor | $1,024 |
| v4 | ENTROPIC engine with full CSDM-grounded hardware | $4,096 |
Each version uses NISTX to prove equivalence or improvement over the previous version.
