Improving the Efficiency of Testing Generators of Pseudorandom Numbers

The paper presents a modified mechanism of the statistical tests assessing the quality of random number generators, applying to problems of information security. The proposed method implies analysis of the number of absent sets instead of the number of occurrences of certain sets. The volume of the...

description The paper presents a modified mechanism of the statistical tests assessing the quality of random number generators, applying to problems of information security. The proposed method implies analysis of the number of absent sets instead of the number of occurrences of certain sets. The volume of the auxiliary memory for processing statistical tests does not depend on the length of test sequences and is determined only by the size of the set. Reducing the volume of required memory will allow to vary the parameters of the test, increasing the range of used values, which will significantly improves the tests functionality and quality.
