Frequently Asked Questions

Products available for purchase today are Light Rider's Gen 1 and Gen 1 Quantum bulbs. Enterprise software solutions are custom tailored through Light Rider's IP Program with applications currently open through the intake process here on our website.

Light Rider's encryption is different from classical encryption entirely. Classical encryption relies on software-derived repetition of numbers, quantum encryption derives its randomness from the physical behavior of photons. Our quantum terminals are independent Entropy sources that do not need to be connected to the internet. It's all-natural!

Light Rider's quantum processing capabilities allow for massive scalability. In only half a second a 1k block can be created from the totally random quantum super stream which is integrated from 6 different sources of quantum entropy. Each terminal can stream quantum keys infinitely.

Light Rider's quantum encryption secures any files or computer systems but is not intended to encrypt an Internet connection to a remote host. LiFi + Light Rider however creates a closed, secure, and invisible wireless connection when used for connectivity.

Light Fidelity or Li-Fi is a wireless communication technology which utilizes light to transmit data between devices.

In technical terms, Li-Fi is a light communication system that can transmit data at very high speeds over the visible light, ultraviolet, and infrared spectrums. Li-Fi is the wireless version of fiber optic communications.

In terms of its end use, the technology is similar to Wi-Fi — the key technical difference being that Wi-Fi uses radio frequency to induce a voltage in an antenna to transmit data, whereas Li-Fi uses the modulation of light intensity to transmit data. Li-Fi's ability to safely function in areas otherwise susceptible to electromagnetic interference (e.g. aircraft cabins, hospitals, military) is an advantage.

Li-Fi works by switching the power current to the light bulb "Off (0)" and "On (1)" at a very high speed, too quick to be noticed by the human eye, thus, it does not present any flickering. Although Li-Fi bulbs would have to be kept on while transmitting data, they are dimmed below human visibility while still emitting enough light to carry data.

The technology allows roaming between various Li-Fi bulbs, also known as "Handover," allowing seamless transition between bulb to bulb. The light waves cannot penetrate walls which translates to a much shorter range, and a lower hacking potential, relative to Wi-Fi. Direct line of sight is not necessary for Li-Fi to transmit a signal; the light is reflected off walls.

Random Number Generators (RNG) can be hardware or software that produce sequences of random numbers. There are three distinct types of random number generators (RNG): Pseudo-RNGs, True RNGs, and Quantum RNGs. Random numbers are essential for several applications:

• Encrypted data transmission
• Quantum Key Distribution (QKD)
• Medical clinical trials
• Generating secure passwords
• Gambling machines
• Simulating virus outbreak behaviors, such as, COVID-19
• Perform simulations to predict the weather

Light Rider uses "Quantum Shot Noise" to create true quantum randomness. Unlike pseudo-random number generators that create patterns that can be exploited by hackers, quantum random number generators produce truly unpredictable sequences with no geometric patterns or repetition.

By using a process similar to Morse Code, "Quantum Li-Fi" transmits three or more bits. Comprised of the two standard bits plus quantum bits which are represented by sequences of flickering of the light to represent quantum information in both encryption and computing.

This information cannot be identified or realized by conventional (non-quantum) software or computing systems because there is no repetition in the code. Since quantum bit encryption is combined with standard data during all transmissions; the communications method is inherently secure.

Standard Li-Fi systems can only send "2" bits representing single binary values of either 0 or 1; Quantum Li-Fi can transmit substantially larger amounts of secure data by utilizing "3" or more bits.

Light Rider's encryption products provide you a sandbox environment to apply true quantum randomness wherever you desire in your own infrastructure. Light Rider's team works with every enterprise user to correctly configure, deploy, and maintain the quantum environment in a client's own network stack.

If you're in the United States then chances are that LiFi is completely new to you. However, LiFi as a technology has been around for years with many quality LiFi technology manufacturers around the world. For a variety of reasons, LiFi has yet to reach the US consumer market even though it will most likely be the new wireless global standard in coming years.

For control of Light Rider encryption solutions there is an app that runs at the local level to manage devices and encryption settings. Light Rider has also created a Quantum Arcade app that utilizes a quantum generation super stream to give users the ability to leverage quantum randomness in games of chance. This is perfect for users desiring heads/tails or lottery number generation or who desire to intend an outcome using the supernatural behavior of quantum physics. The Quantum Arcade app is currently available in the iOS and Android app stores.

Since information from your network is never broadcast back to Light Rider's servers there is never any of your data stored.

Light Rider's quantum encryption doesn't come from software, it is only transmitted by software. Where typical encryption schemes are generated in binary using software, Light Rider's quantum randomness is generated at the physical level (light) and then transmitted through software.

Access to a quantum processor alone will not translate into an application. Light Rider has spent a significant amount of time developing proprietary code and through research has leveraged quantum technologies.

Light Rider has 4 product lines:

• Portable Encryption: Leveraging quantum physics to encrypt and unlock information and communications/computing systems on demand.
• Quantum Storage: Storage devices that utilize quantum encryption for an ultra-secure storage environment.
• Quantum Networking: Communications technologies (LiFI, routers, etc) that create a quantum secure communications system to replace traditional WiFi.
• Quantum Infrastructure: Applications of quantum communications, encryption, and security at the municipal, campus, or critical infrastructure layers.

Entropy measures the randomness or unpredictability in a system. In computing, it's crucial for generating secure cryptographic keys and ensuring unpredictable random number sequences.

Quantum entropy is derived from the behavior of quantum systems, such as photon fluctuations, and is inherently unpredictable — unlike classical systems which can be modeled and predicted over time.

The NIST Entropy Source Validation process evaluates whether a randomness source meets the rigorous standards for cryptographic use. Light Rider aims for compliance with these standards for its QRNG devices.

A Pseudo-Random Number Generator (PRNG) uses algorithms to simulate randomness and can be predicted if the initial state is known. A True Random Number Generator (TRNG), often hardware-based, derives its randomness from physical phenomena, making it unpredictable.

The Quantum Terminal is a compact, plug-and-play device that streams certified quantum entropy using quantum light processes. It connects via Wi-Fi or USB and integrates into applications for encryption, randomness, or AI training.

Yes. By replacing predictable nonce generation with quantum entropy, the Quantum Terminal can help reduce hash collision risks and improve mining uniqueness, especially in mining pools prone to nonce duplication.

Entropy enhances security and mining efficiency by ensuring each hash attempt is unique. This reduces duplicated work and increases the probability of finding a valid block hash without conflict in mining pools.

Quantum entropy ensures truly random encryption keys and eliminates predictable patterns. This provides stronger defenses against cryptanalysis and emerging quantum attacks.

Yes. The Quantum Terminal is OS-agnostic and works with Windows, macOS, Linux, and embedded systems via standard USB or Wi-Fi interfaces.

No. It generates quantum entropy locally and does not need an internet connection to function. However, online applications may require network access to receive the entropy stream.

Each Quantum Terminal is designed for continuous operation and tested for reliability. Under normal conditions, the device can run 24/7 for years without performance degradation.

Quantum entropy adds unpredictable data inputs during training, helping prevent overfitting and bias in models. It boosts generalization performance and can enhance randomness in synthetic data generation.

All entropy generated is hardware-sourced and delivered over authenticated channels. The data never leaves your system unless explicitly streamed to approved applications.

Industries like cybersecurity, defense, financial services, healthcare, and artificial intelligence benefit from secure, unpredictable entropy sources for encryption, identity, and stochastic modeling.
