  "New NIST/NSA Revelations (1993)" New NIST/NSA/MSFT Revelations (2013)........related?! I've been looking to obtain NIST Statistical Test Suite C source download, I have only found C#(Microsoft) on Sourceforge/Google Code, PDF docs, a sts-2.1.zip (41+MB what!?) spectral test update that failed to unzip. Is this now difficult to obtain? I'm not really interested in putting this forward as more tinfoil hat hysteria, I simply want to run the NIST tests on some PRNGs. A tar.gz download link, anyone?

    Hobgoblins breed in shadows by absence of evidence. I think the hardware stack vendors have an opportunity for leadership by open sourcing portions of updates and drivers to assuage that your mom's laptop doesn't have Chinese or American backdoors in the WiFi drivers or RdRand/RdSeed. :)
