I don't understand why they didn't follow the guidelines in NIST Standard 800-22 (rev 1a), "A Statistical Test Suite for Random and Pseudorandom Number Generators for Cryptographic Applications".

bogus random entropy sources Posted Oct 6, 2010 13:56 UTC (Wed) by jzbiciak (✭ supporter ✭, #5246) [Link] Probably because they didn't have a time machine. ;-) The document you reference was written this year. The white paper I reference was written in 2003. And if you meant Rev 1, that didn't come out until 2008. Maybe you meant the original 800-22? That one came out in 2001. (Dates came from here.)
