Entropy tests for the Infinite Noise TRNG

Test results

These test results were produced with 250MiB (2.000.000.000 bits) of random numbers from the device, resulting in 100.000 FIPS blocks with 20.000 bit each - and took two weeks.

Output speed

Multiplier/Mode raw whitened (SHA-3) /dev/random
0 50 KiB/s 42,5 KiB/s 0,3 KiB/s
1 - 25 KiB/s 14,0 KiB/s
10 - 250 KiB/s 23 KiB/s
100 - 2,25 MiB/s 20,9 KiB/s
1000 - 17,2 MiB/s 14,0 KiB/s
10000 - 68,3 MiB/s 4,21 KiB/s

FIPS Tests

Multiplier/Mode raw failed blocks (SHA-3) failed blocks /dev/random
0 99999 70 (0,07 %) 81 (0,08 %)
1 - 78 (0,08 %) 73 (0,07 %)
10 - 87 (0,09 %) 89 (0,09 %)
100 - 87 (0,09 %) 95 (0,1 %)
1000 - 78 (0,08 %) 73 (0,07 %)
10000 - 74 (0,07 %) 86 (0,09 %)
  • The percentage of failed FIPS blocks should always remain below 0,1%.

Run your own tests

Requirements

Make sure you have the following tools installed:

  • rng-tools (make sure to stop rngd during the test and uninstall/disable afterwards)
  • ent
  • dieharder
  • pv
  • python (numpy, matplotlib)
  • infnoise driver

In the header of the script, you can define the test parameters:

declare -a TEST_KBYTES=('25000')
declare -a TEST_MULTIPLIERS=('0' '1' '10' '100' '1000' '10000')

A full test run like this with 25MiB takes almost 2 days, mostly because of /dev/random tests with a multiplier of zero.

This is why by default it performs a reduced run which takes only 1-2 hours.

Tests are run for each combination of these parameters and can be started by running runtests.sh:

$ git clone https://github.com/manuel-domke/infnoise
$ cd tests
$ sudo ./runtests.sh

The output directories will be created automatically.

    - <testcase>-<multiplier>-<kbytes>K.out:			random data produced in the test run

In the already existing results folder you'll find results for major driver [releases] (https://github.com/13-37-org/infnoise/releases).
