Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G  H

Claim 6:
7. A device, comprising:
one or more processors configured to:
provide a request for a random number, from a high-level operating system, to a first driver that is provisioned by a secure operating system that is isolated from the high-level operating system;
provide the request to an application that is implemented in a user space of a secure environment;
provide the request to a second driver implemented on a kernel of the secure environment;
provide a command to generate an entropy input, to a quantum random number generator that is isolated from the one or more processors, through the second driver implemented on the kernel of the secure operating system;
receive, at the secure operating system and using the second driver, the entropy input from the quantum random number generator; and
generate the random number based at least in part on the entropy input.
