Enhanced Approach To Generate One Time Password (OTP) Using Quantum True Random Number Generator (QTRNG)

Abstract

In secure IT systems, a One Time Password (OTP) is used. They can only be used once for a transaction or a login session. It is usually used for multi-factor authentication and is one of the security services based on human responses. In the field of cryptography, the creation of pseudo-random bitstreams is similar to how one-time passwords (OTPs) work. In modern computers, the security of cryptographic procedures is greatly enhanced by the use of random numbers. The use of a Quantum True Random Number Generator (QTRNG) makes it possible to replace periodic sequences that appear random with real random data. A QTRNG is used in this research on a real Quantum Computational Device (QCD) in a local environment. The IBM Quantum Experience Qiskit platform is used to build a random number generator. Qiskit is an open source platform that provides users to work with actual quantum devices for simulating quantum algorithms, different gates and circuits on IBM Quantum Experience or on simulators. The random number is investigated with different qubits (quantum bits) to generate random bits that can be used for One Time Password Generation.
