randomness-test

A series of randomness tests for binary sequence validation based on a "Statistical Test Suite for Random and Pseudorandom Number Generators for Cryptographic Applications (Special Publication 800-22, Revision 1a)" by NIST.

Note: this implementation uses GNU Scientific Library (GSL), so the latter must be installed and configured along with the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable.

How-to-use:

Build and run

• Compile

  $ make GSL_INCLUDE='-I/home/username/gsl/include/' GSL_LIBRARY='-L/home/username/gsl/lib/ main.o -lgsl -lgslcblas -lm'
  

  where /home/username/gsl/include/ and /home/username/gsl/lib/ are paths to your GSL's include and lib folders respectively

• Execute

  $ ./randomness_test somefile.txt
  

Testing

This project includes a test-files folder which contains some binary sequences to be tested. To do that one can use run-test.sh bash scrip the following way:

$ ./run-test.sh ./randomness_test test-files/TrueRandom
