Randomness is an important research topic in the field of information security, especially in cryptography. Randomness test techniques are used to examine the quality of random numbers so that they meet the requirements of the application. The randomness of cryptographic algorithms is one of the key concerns in the algorithm design. People have put forward different standards and test requirements for the randomness of cryptographic algorithms, as well as developed corresponding randomness test kits. This paper analyzes the randomness test technologies of cryptographic algorithms and the general randomness test methods, and compares them on this basis. At the end, the actual application scenarios to apply these randomness test methods are discussed.
