Title
A General Method to Evaluate the Correlation of Randomness Tests
Abstract
This paper discusses the correlation of the randomness tests. In this paper, we propose a new general method to evaluate the correlation of randomness tests. Firstly, we deduce the distribution that independent randomness tests should obey, then evaluate whether the randomness tests are independent or not based on hypothesis test. Using this method, we research the correlation of some statistical tests included in the NIST SP 800-22 suits, which is a collection of tests for the evaluation of both true random and pseudorandom number generators for cryptographic applications. Our experiment results show that some correlations of dependent exist among the randomness tests, which is different from the declaration that the randomness tests are independent by NIST. Moreover, the method we proposed also can be used in the study of parameter selection in randomness tests.
