Statistical test on lightweight block cipher-based PRNG

Abstract

In this paper, a comparison of three Pseudo Random Number Generator (PRNG) based on SIMON-64, SPECK-64 and SIMECK-64 using PGV-5 scheme is presented. We use NIST randomness test suites sts-2.1.1 which consists of 15 statistical tests. According to the test results, SIMON-64-PGV-5 and SIMECK-64-PGV-5 PRNG pass all tests but SPECK-64-PGV-5 PRNG does not pass Random Excursions test. SIMON-64-PGV-5 and SIMECK-64-PGV-5 PRNG have good randomness properties.
