I am running tests using SP800-90B tools and the first issue I can see is the warning that samples contain less than 1e6 bytes of data. I know little about maths behind random number generators, but I have noticed that the bigger chunk of data from an RNG I feed into either ent or ea_iid the higher entropy they report. That is why I divided the data into 1024 bit chunks in the first place. To get worse results. With ea_iid they get even worse (128 bytes of random data) Calculating baseline statistics... H_original: 4.107376 H_bitstring: 0.795122 min(H_original, 8 X H_bitstring): 4.107376 but I don't know how much I can trust it, when I get such warning *** Warning: data contains less than 1000000 samples *** ea_non_iid refuses to run tests with less than 4096 bytes of input. I may suspect that lack of any warnings from ent doesn't make its results any more reliable. Anyway. I collected 1024 files 1024 bits each once again and ran the following tests for f in exynos-trng/random*; do ./ea_iid "$f" | grep ^min; done | sor= t | head -1 for f in rng200/random*; do ./ea_iid "$f" | grep ^min; done | sort | he= ad -1 For both RNGs I got the same min(H_original, 8 X H_bitstring): 3.393082 which, if I understand correctly, means I should set quality to no more than 434. Do you think 400 is OK?
