1. Why test randomness
Statistical tests help detect bias, repetitions, correlations, and source failures. They do not prove absolute randomness, but they are an important alarm system.
For a physical entropy generator, testing matters because radio conditions and hardware behavior can change over time.
2. ENT, rngtest, and Dieharder
Tools such as ENT, rngtest, and Dieharder examine bit balance, runs, correlations, byte distribution, and behavior across larger samples.
3. Continuous audits
One good result is not enough. Big Bang Entropy relies on recurring reports, audit history, and drift detection for node behavior.
Open current randomness reports ->4. Reading results
Quality reports should be treated as diagnostic signals. Production integrations should combine them with local monitoring and their own security policy.
