For contrast, here is a 'rngtest' run against a 3.1.8 Linux kernel with /dev/random enhanced by the output of a STMicroelectronics ST33 TPM PRNG (via 'rngd' v4).
bits received from input: 62380032 FIPS 140-2 successes: 3115 FIPS 140-2 failures: 4 FIPS 140-2(2001-10-10) Monobit: 0 FIPS 140-2(2001-10-10) Poker: 0 FIPS 140-2(2001-10-10) Runs: 3 FIPS 140-2(2001-10-10) Long run: 1 FIPS 140-2(2001-10-10) Continuous run: 0 input channel speed: (min=21.119; avg=42.165; max=136.844)Kibits/s FIPS tests speed: (min=41.374; avg=104.495; max=107.154)Mibits/s Program run time: 1445.324494 seconds That's three bit runs and one long bit run in close to 8MB of random data. Is well inside the FIPS 140-2 document requirements. Would likely be bad if there were none. ST claims their PRNG is a AIS-31 Class P2 compliant true random number generator (TRNG) The 'rngtest' output above is edited slightly for better reading. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
