To further demonstrate that the RCT test is compliant with the requirements of Section 4.9.2 of FIPS 140-2, one can note that the requirements in AS.09.42 and AS.09.43 do not address the maximum sample size generated by a NDRNG. A vendor who chooses to implement the RCT test may, after selecting the parameter and estimating the rate of min-entropy per bit, demonstrate the module’s compliance with FIPS 140-2 by combining the outputs from that generator into longer samples that become the effective sample size of the outputs from the new “NDRNG”. The resulting new “NDRNG” would have the larger samples, say 64 bits or larger, and the vendor may claim that this “NDRNG” produces more than 30 bits or entropy per sample. Then, taking into account the recommended value of = 2-30, formula (1) yields C=2, which is precisely equivalent to performing a CRNGT. A vendor who would want to pursue this approach for complying with Section 4.9.2 of FIPS 140-2 would just need to determine the parameters and H and define the new NDRNG with the corresponding sample size.
