rand_testsuite

A Testsuite for random number generators. It implements NIST 800-22.

It is intended to be more as a smoketest to ensure that random number generation isn’t completely broken.

Crate Features

rand_testsuite defines the following features:

• std: Uses the std library’s maths routines instead of a freestanding pure-rust implementation.
• rand_core: Allows you to directly test RngCore trait implementations. Enables allocations.

Getting Started

This is how you may use this crate to evaluate a random number generator (requires rand_core!)

let mut rng = rand::thread_rng();
assert!(CombinedRandomTest::default().evaluate_rng(&mut rng).unwrap_or_default() > 0.01);

Installing

You can add this library to your crate with the following command:

cargo add rand_testsuite --dev

This makes the dependency available in testsuites.

Running the tests

cargo test
nix flake check .
