NISTTests
NISTTests refers to the NIST Statistical Test Suite for Random and Pseudorandom Number Generators, a collection of statistical tests used to assess the randomness of binary sequences produced for cryptographic applications. Developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) as part of SP 800-22, NISTTests provides a standardized methodology for evaluating the quality of randomness in RNG outputs.
The suite comprises a set of tests that examine properties such as bit frequency, runs, pattern matching,
NIST provides a reference implementation of the Statistical Test Suite, along with detailed documentation in SP
Usage of NISTTests involves interpreting results in the context of the security properties of the intended
