Hi,
> Your tests would not detect that kind of vulnerability.
Let=B4s try it.
http://sig.cacert.at/random/
I have setup a small randomness collection website, and I am asking everyon=
e=20
to submit as many random numbers as possible from as many different sources=
=20
as possible.
Please upload any kind of randomness (none, PRNG, special patterns, your=20
personally preferred HRNG, ...) to the website.
I will try to do a larger statistical analysis of all random samples, and a=
lso=20
try to find ways to identify PRNGs ...
I have a couple of goals with the project:
* perhaps being able with a high number of samples to differentiate=20
statistically between PRNG and HRNGs
* a HRNG commercial market overview, which random speed you can get for whi=
ch=20
price.
* at the end, I am planning, to run the analysis tools as a web service, so=
=20
that everyone can have his own random numbers tested anytime, by simply=20
uploading them, and having them analyzed and compared to the others=20
automatically.
Best regards,
Philipp G=FChring
