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.

https://csrc.nist.gov/projects/random-bit-generation/documentation-and-software

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
