Security in different applications is closely related to the goodness of the sequences
generated for such purposes. Not only in Cryptography but also in other areas, it is …

Generation of random numbers is a central problem for many applications in the field of
information processing, including, eg, cryptography, in classical and quantum regime, but …

Random numbers and random sequences are used to produce vital parts of cryptographic
algorithms such as encryption keys and therefore the generation and evaluation of random …

The analysis of independence between statistical randomness tests has had great attention
in the literature recently. Dependency detection between statistical randomness tests allows …

In order to evaluate binary strings generated by cryptographic applications, for randomness
and unpredictability, an instrument may be the statistical tests. Because in terms of …

Random sequences are widely used in many cryptographic applications and hence their
generation is one of the main research areas in cryptography. Statistical randomness tests …

A new concept of a quantum random number generator related to the application of a
quantum entanglement to produce several mutually coupled in a random manner bit strings …

Randomness tests are a key tool to assess the quality of pseudo-random and true random
(physical) number generators. They exploit some properties of random numbers to quantify …

This work presents an analysis of the existing dependencies between the tests of the FIPS
140-2 battery. Two main analytical approaches are utilized, the first being a study of …

The advantages of using mutual information to evaluate the correlation between
randomness tests have recently been demonstrated. However, it has been pointed out that …
