Tectum Unveils TectumKeys: Physically Isolated Cryptographic Hardware Engineered for Quantum-Proof Security

DUBAI, UAE – Tectum, the next-generation performance-driven blockchain company, has officially launched TectumKeys — a hardware-based cryptographic key generator built to deliver quantum-level security, eliminate traditional software vulnerabilities, and protect against electromagnetic interception through physical isolation.

At the core of TectumKeys is a physical entropy generator, RNG 1.0, developed by a team of cryptographers led by the industry legend Anatoly Klepov.

TectumKeys was fully designed by Anatoly Klepov, a renowned Russian cryptographer with over 53 years of experience in cybersecurity and hardware encryption. It sets a new security benchmark for digital asset custody. Its architecture adheres to the TEMPEST-grade standards used by defense industries, central banks, and critical infrastructure providers.

At its core, TectumKeys relies on true unpredictability – physical entropy. Physical entropy sources are cutting-edge technologies that generate true random numbers by harnessing the inherent unpredictability of physical phenomena.

Unlike conventional methods that rely on deterministic algorithms, physical entropy is based on physical processes that are fundamentally impossible to predict – even with full knowledge of the system. Two noise diodes are fused together within TectumKeys to produce true random numbers – ensuring every private key is mathematically untraceable. The result is ultra-secure, non-repeating private keys generated and stored entirely on-device, never exposed externally or transmitted, preserving air-gap security.

The device itself is enclosed in a CNC-machined 3mm aluminum alloy casing with internal shielding that forms a Faraday cage. Partitioned metal walls, ferrite barriers, and LC filters isolate all functional blocks, effectively suppressing signal leakage and blocking electromagnetic side-channel attacks.

TectumKeys integrates with systems via a unique interface:

• USB with a proprietary encrypted protocol, enabling seamless interaction with Tectum’s Key Generation Center software via protected channels.

It meets electromagnetic compliance criteria (emissions are less than or equal to 2 µV/m at 1m), aligned with the TTA (TEMPEST Test Approach) standard.

By leveraging quantum entropy, air-gapped storage, and physically shielded hardware, TectumKeys provides an ideal solution for wallet key generation, cold storage, government communications, and high-security authentication systems — particularly in an era of AI-driven and quantum threats.

“Mathematics alone can’t protect against physical compromise — that’s why TectumKeys is built from physics up,” said Anatoly Klepov, inventor of TectumKeys. “In a world where advanced computing threatens conventional encryption, we must evolve beyond software-based defenses.”

As adoption of the Tectum ecosystem continues — with over 1.7 million SoftNotes minted and Tectum 4.0 powering a secure, high-speed Web3 infrastructure — TectumKeys rounds out the company’s cryptographic suite, delivering trustless, end-to-end protection from infrastructure to endpoint.
