Abstract
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.
