Title:
Practical Randomness Measure Tool
Authors: Boaz Shahar
Abstract:This report addresses the development of a pseudo random bit
generator (PRBG) for constraint silicon devices. NIST.SP800-22 “Statistical test suite for Pseudo Random Generators” suggests a suite of tests that can confirm or deny the randomness of a given bit sequence. However, although providing a “pass / fail” criteria for the property of randomness of an arbitrary sequence, it is hard to get from the NIST suite the sense for the “level of randomness” for a given sequence, a measure that is
sometimes required for the development process of PRBG. This post suggests a tool that can measure randomness, and therefore allows gradual changes in the PRBG algorithm, that helps trading power / time / area constraints versus quantifiable measure of the resulting randomness.
Keywords: Binomial distribution, commutative distribution function (CDF),
