Bug#1032611: ITP: sp800-90b-entropy-assessment -- Estimating the quality of a source of entropy
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: NIIBE Yutaka X-Debbugs-Cc: debian-devel@lists.debian.org * Package name: sp800-90b-entropy-assessment Version : 1.1.5 Upstream Contact: Chris Celi * URL : https://github.com/usnistgov/SP800-90B_EntropyAssessment * License : https://www.nist.gov/open/copyright-fair-use-and-licensing-statements-srd-data-software-and-technical-series-publications#software Programming Lang: C++ Description : Estimating the quality of a source of entropy Cryptographic random bit generators (RBGs), also known as random number generators (RNGs), require a noise source that produces digital outputs with some level of unpredictability, expressed as min-entropy. SP 800-90B provides a standardized means of estimating the quality of a source of entropy. This is a set of tools for NIST's SP 800-90B Recommendation for the Entropy Sources Used for Random Bit Generation. Debian has packages for RNG: ent and dieharder. This package is specifically useful for evaluating/building TRNG. Good source of entropy is important for computing, especially for free computing. I started PLL-based true random generator project, named Gomti: https://sr.ht/~gniibe/gomti/ For Gomti, I'm using ea_iid, ea_non_iid, and ea_restart in this package to evaluate the output of TRNG. It requires following packages: libbz2-dev libdivsufsort-dev libjsoncpp-dev libssl-dev libmpfr-dev I plan to maintain the package at salsa.debian.org. I'm open to team maintenance (or co-maintainers), but I don't know appropriate one. Suggestions are welcome. --

Some packages use snapshot of software, and use --enable-maintainer-mode to generate manuals by help2man. It works on native system, but not for cross. I think that we should have some criteria of what should be done at source packaging time and build time.
