Abstract

Randomness testing is one of the essential and easiest tools for evaluating cryptographic primitives. The faster we can test, the greater volume of data that can be tested. Thus a more detailed analysis is possible. This paper presents a range of observations made for a well-known frequency test for overlapping vectors in binary sequence testing. We have obtained precise chi-square statistic computed in $O \left(dt 2^{dt} \right)$ instead of $O\left( 2^{2dt}\right)$ time, without precomputed tables.
