SP 800-90 C
DRAFT Recommendation for Random Bit Generator (RBG) Constructions (Second Draft)
NIST invites comments on the second draft of Special
Publication (SP) 800-90C, Recommendation for Random Bit Generator
(RBG) Constructions. This Recommendation specifies constructions for
the implementation of RBGs. An RBG may be a deterministic random bit
generator (DRBG) or a non-deterministic random bit generator (NRBG). The
constructed RBGs consist of DRBG mechanisms, as specified in
SP
800-90A, and entropy sources, as specified in
SP
800-90B.
On May 2-3, 2016, NIST will host
a workshop
on Random Number Generation to discuss the SP 800-90 series of
documents--specifically, SP 800-90B and SP 800-90C.
