Resumo
Introduction. To accurately reproduce test conditions in semi-natural simulation stands, it is essential to generate signals with various probability distributions over power and time. Pseudorandom number generators (PRNGs) are commonly used for this purpose. Given their practical application in semi-natural simulation stands, evaluating the randomness of their generated sequences is crucial. The NIST statistical test suite is widely used to assess the randomness of number sequences. It determines the statistical similarity between a generated pseudorandom sequence and a theoretically perfect random sequence. This study aims at analyzing the performance of binary sequences generated by PRNGs—defined by GOST R ISO 28640-2012—in NIST randomness tests using a developed simulation software. Methods and Tools. This research involves developing software tools to simulate PRNGs based on GOST R ISO 28640-2012 using the following methods: five-parameter method; Tausworthe method; combined Tausworthe method; Mersenne Twister method. To assess the randomness of these generators, their output sequences were subjected to 16 NIST statistical tests. Each test evaluated finite-length sequences, calculating statistics and comparing them with reference statistics of a perfectly random sequence. Results. The study found that the Mersenne Twister method generated the sequence most closely resembling a true random series, passing 14 out of 16 NIST tests. Furthermore, it was observed that modifying the input parameters of certain PRNG methods could enhance their ability to pass specific tests, thereby improving the overall "randomness" of the generated sequences. Conclusion. This research developed and implemented software tools for modeling PRNGs based on GOST R ISO 28640-2012 and evaluated their randomness using the NIST test suite. The results indicate that the Mersenne Twister method is the most suitable PRNG for semi-natural simulation stands in asynchronous electronic systems. Additionally, further improvements to PRNG algorithms are necessary to increase their statistical test pass rates.
