sp800_22_tests

A python implementation of the SP800-22 Rev 1a PRNG test suite.

The NIST STS-2.1.2 implementation of the SP800-22 Rev1a tests has some problems. It tends to crash a lot and give the wrong result.

This implementation provides a separate python file, one for each test and a program to read a binary data file and send it to each of the tests. The summary results are output at the end.

In the example below a 1 Mibibit uniform random binary file is generated with djenrandom (https://github.com/dj-on-github/djenrandom) and run through the test.

$ djenrandom -b -k 128 > megabitrand.bin
$ ./sp800_22_tests.py megabitrand.bin
Tests of Distinguishability from Random
TEST: monobit_test
  Ones count   = 523619
  Zeroes count = 524957
  PASS
  P=0.191334792562

[ Lots of per test output ]

Next we create a biased data file, where the probability of a 1 is 40% and a 0 is 60% and run it through the test.

Next we create some serially correlated data and run it through the tests.

Next we create some data with both bias and serial correlation from an Ornstein–Uhlenbeck process and run it through the tool
