[talk] Testing Hardware RNG

[Isaac (.ike) Levy]

Hi All,

Does anyone have any good reccomendations for tools or process testing to find good RNG entropy?  Is Diehard still a thing, (Dieharder?)

Context:
I recall quite some years back, folks here testing some hardware RNG's with me.

On a lark, a hardware person I know just whipped up some hardware RNG prototypes, still playing with them, (usb thingies spewing bits).

Anyhow, it's been a while, and I'm interested in testing and test methodology, but can't for the life of me remember how we tested quality of entropy before.

Thanks!

Best,
