Abstract
This is a brief introduction on how to run the Python command-line programs (hosted on GitHub at https://github.com/usnistgov/SP800-90B_EntropyAssessment) that implement the statistical entropy estimation tests found in Section 9 of the Draft NIST SP 800-90B (August 2012). It is not a description or explanation of the tests themselves. Please refer to the standard itself for definitions and descriptions of the tests and their rationales.Citation
