    摘要: An apparatus for testing a random number generator includes a correlation test circuit and a randomness determination circuit. The correlation test circuit extracts a first plurality of bit pairs each including two bits spaced apart from each other by a first distance in a bit stream generated by the random number generator, obtains a first sum of differences between respective two bits of the first plurality of bit pairs, and obtains a second sum of differences between respective two bits of a second plurality of bit pairs, the second plurality of bit pairs each including two bits spaced apart from each other by a second distance, different from the first distance, in the bit stream. The randomness determination circuit determines a randomness of the bit stream, based on the first sum and the second sum.
