NIST Randomness Testsuit

This is a Python implementation of NIST's A Statistical Test Suite for Random and Pseudorandom Number Generators for Cryptographic Applications

Getting Started

Prerequisite:

You need the following software and packages for this application:

1. Python 3.6 and above (Tested with Python 3.8 already)
2. Numpy and Scipy

pip3 install numpy, scipy

How to use:

• You can start the program using your IDE feature (like run) to run Main.py or

    python3 Main.py

• Once you saw the interface, you can start using the test suite.

  • Input Data - Input Data contains Binary Data, Binary Data File and String Data File
  • Binary Data - You can only enter a BINARY STRING here (ex:1100100100001111110110101010001000100001011010001100001000110100110001001100011001100010100010111000)
  • Binary Data File - This will open a file dialog where you can select a file to be read by program. The file you selected should contain only one set of data in BINARY FORM. (For example, please refer to data/data.e)
  • String Data File - This will open a file dialog where you can select a file to be read by program. The file you selected can contain multiple set of data in STRING FORM. (For example, please refer to data/test_data_01.txt)

• You can select the type of test you want to perform by clicking the corresponding checkbox or press "Select All Test" to select everything

• You can cancel the selection by clicking the corresponding checkbox or press "De-Select All Test" to cancel everything

• Once you have your data ready and selected the test you want to perform, then you can press "Execute Test" button to execute the test

• The result will be displayed after the test done.

  • There are multiple result for Random Excursion Test. Initially the program will displayed state '+1'. You can chechk the other resuld by changing the state (using drop down) and press "Update" button
  • There are multiple result for Random Excursion Variant Test. Initially the program will displayed state '-1.0'. You can chechk the other resuld by changing the state (using drop down) and press "Update" button

• You can save the result to a text file by pressing "Save as Text File" button. This will display a file dialog where you can enter the file name for your result. You can check the text file after the result is saved.

• "Reset" button will clear all input and variables. It is strongly suggested you use this feature if you want to execute test for another set of data

• "Exit" button will close this program

Using this application in terminal (Command Line)

• You can also used this application by importing necessary library to your python code
