Abstract

A set of randomness test methods based on entropy is proposed according to the shortcomings of existing randomness test methods, such as physical meaning is not clear and direct enough, test function is more complicated and so on. The properties that the random sequence should have are analyzed, and according to the properties, the test functions and result evaluation methods are designed. The method has been tested strictly, and proved to be fast and accurate in randomness test of the cipher algorithm and random number generator.
