Systems and techniques for secure communications and distribution of random values for cryptographic key generation, coordinated with the use of specific key generation parameters, are described. An example method includes: receiving a first random value and a second random value generated from at least one quantum random number generator (QRNG), with at least one of the first random value and the second random value being provided from a satellite communication; obtaining key generation parameters associated with cryptographic key generation, where the key generation parameters specify a specific combination of the first random value and the second random value; and generating a cryptographic key, using the specific combination of the first random value and the second random value, as a seed to a cryptographic function.
