A STATISTICAL TEST SUITE FOR RANDOM AND PSEUDORANDOM NUMBER
GENERATORS FOR CRYPTOGRAPHIC APPLICATIONS
Following below steps to setup NIST (STS package).
1.
Download STS package from below URL.
2.
Copy your STS package on Linux/UBUNTU system
3.
STS package contains below files
4.
Edit the makefile. Modify the following lines:
a.
CC (your ANCI C compiler) example GCC
b.
ROOTDIR (the root directory that was prescribed
earlier in the process, e.g., rng/)
5.
Now execute makefile with the command ‘make’. An
executable file named “assess” should appear in the project directory.
Follow below steps to test
[AAAAAA@localhost ~]$ ls
Desktop Downloads nistnet Public sts-2.1.2 Videos
Documents Music Pictures sts Templates
[AAAAAA@localhost ~]$ cd sts-2.1.2/
[AAAAAA@localhost sts-2.1.2]$ ls
assess data experiments include makefile obj src templates
[AAAAAA@localhost sts-2.1.2]$ ./assess 1000000
