An Efficient and Compact Reformulation of NIST Collision Estimate Test

Prasanna Raghaw Mishra, Bhartendu Nandan, and Navneet Gaba

Abstract

In this paper we give an efficient and compact reformulation of NIST collision estimate test given in SP-800 90B. We correct an error in the formulation of the test and show that the test statistic can be computed in a much easier way. We also propose a revised algorithm for the test based on our findings.

Note: A minor discrepancy appearing at section 3 in the previous version has been rectified.
