Random Number Generation Part 1: Overview and Basic Principles
This Standard defines techniques for the generation of random numbers that shall be used whenever ASC X9 Standards require the use of a random number or bitstring for cryptographic purposes. The Standard consists of four parts:
- Part 1: Overview and Basic Principles
- Part 2: Entropy Sources
- Part 3: Deterministic Random Bit Generator Mechanisms
- Part 4: Random Bit Generator Construction
Part 1 contains:
- A functional model for random bit generators,
- The general properties necessary for random bit generators to produce bitstrings that are suitable for cryptographic use, and
- Approved methods for converting a random number into a random bitstring and vice versa.
