Introduction<\/strong> Correct operation of the RNG ensures that cards, die numbers, slot game symbols, feature game outputs, jackpot triggers, etc. are statistically random and unpredictable. A correctly operating RNG gives players confidence in the gaming system and insures against unjustified player complaints.<\/p>\n RNG testing<\/strong> For Hardware RNG (HRNG), the first stage is limited to the evaluation of the specifications of the device, as well as researching any weaknesses that may be present, and evaluating the code for hardware RNG failure detection and failover.<\/p>\n The second and third stage tests determine statistical randomness, as well as the unpredictability and non-repeatability of the RNG. Our RNG evaluations fully comply with all requirements of the applicable gaming jurisdictions<\/a>, such as, for example: Australia, Alderney, Denmark, Gibraltar, Isle of Man, Italy, Kahnawake, Malta, Portugal, Spain and the UK. RNG testing usually takes 1-3 weeks, depending on how quickly the issues we raise are resolved by your team.<\/p>\n What are the deliverables after completion of RNG testing?<\/strong> Most of the RNGs we test are Pseudo or software RNGs. Hardware RNGs are usually backed up by Pseudo RNGs to take care of hardware failure. In case of hardware RNGs with backup PRNG, we test the outputs from both the Pseudo RNG and hardware RNG.<\/p>\n Submission requirements<\/strong> Recommended algorithms<\/strong> 1) Fortuna The last one, MT, is not a cryptographically secure algorithm, however, it is the most widely used in gaming.<\/p>\n Hardware devices\u00a0<\/strong> How to start the process<\/strong> As part of our quotation process, we will ask some brief details about your RNG. In the case of a hardware RNG, the output from the hardware device is required. Our fixed price includes: consultations, unlimited retests after bug fixes, test results, detailed certification reports, hot linked certificates, and logos.<\/p>\n
\niTech Labs is a world leading RNG testing company. iTech Labs has tested many RNGs in 15+ languages using different algorithms and hardware generators during the last 18 years. We believe our experience in RNG testing is unmatched in the industry.
\niTech Labs\u2019 Random Number Generator (RNG) evaluation consists of verifying of the following:<\/p>\n\n
\nTesting of the\u00a0 Pseudo RNG\u00a0 (Software RNG) is conducted in three stages:<\/p>\n\n
\no Identification of RNG algorithm and researching known weaknesses
\no Verifying internal state of RNG
\no Verifying that the RNG implementation caters for unpredictability and non-repeatability requirements
\no Verifying seeding, background cycling and minimal re-seeding
\no Verifying the use of the random numbers, including scaling and shuffling
\no Compiling the RNG code (after all code issues are resolved)<\/li>\n
\nOn completion of all stages of the RNG testing, our deliverables are the following:<\/p>\n\n
\nFor a Pseudo RNG, the source code is required for the evaluation. For a hardware RNG, information about the hardware device and output from the device are required. In order to test the scaling\/shuffling, code fragments that call the RNG or shuffle code are required (examples: scaling code for slot games, shuffling code for card games) for both Pseudo and hardware RNG implementations.<\/p>\n
\nWe always encourage the use of well-known public domain PRNG algorithms. A non-exclusive list of such algorithms is given below:<\/p>\n
\n2) SHA-1 and SHA-2 based PRNGs (e.g. Java SecureRandom)
\n3) AES based generators (AES-CTR, AES-KTR,AES-OFB)
\n4) ISAAC
\n5) Mersenne Twister (MT)<\/p>\n
\nWe have certified HRNGs using the following hardware devices:<\/p>\n\n
