RT Journal Article T1 Critical Analysis of Hypothesis Tests in Federal Information Processing Standard (140-2) A1 Almaraz Luengo, Elena Salome A1 Leiva Cerna, Marcos Brian A1 García Villalba, Luis Javier A1 Hernández Castro, Julio A1 Hurley Smith, Darren AB This work presents an analysis of the existing dependencies between the tests of the FIPS 140-2 battery. Two main analytical approaches are utilized, the first being a study of correlations through the Pearson’s correlation coefficient that detects linear dependencies, and the second one being a novel application of the mutual information measure that allows detecting possible non-linear relationships. In order to carry out this study, the FIPS 140-2 battery is reimplemented to allow the user to obtain p-values and statistics that are essential for more rigorous end-user analysis of random number generators (RNG).
