🔢 Binary Randomness Test

This procedure is designed to evaluate the randomness of a sequence of bytes generated by a source. The test is conducted using statistical analysis with the help of online tools.

🎯 Purpose

The purpose of this procedure is to determine if a given sequence of bytes exhibits characteristics of randomness. It utilizes statistical tests to analyze the distribution of ones and zeros within the byte sequence.

🛠️ Tools Used

• 🕹️ Selenium: For web automation to interact with online tools.
• 🌐 Requests: For making HTTP requests.
• 🧭 Chrome WebDriver: Used for browser automation.

📋 Procedure Overview

• ⏱️ Record the start time of the procedure.
• 🚀 Initialize the WebDriver for Chrome.
• 🌍 Navigate to random.org to generate a sequence of random bytes.
• ⚙️ Configure the byte generation settings (e.g., number of bytes).
• 📥 Retrieve the generated byte sequence.
• 🧹 Format and preprocess the byte sequence.
• 🔢 Calculate the count of ones and zeros in the sequence.
• ➖ Compute the absolute difference between the counts.
• 🧮 Calculate the test statistic (Sobs).
• 📊 Perform statistical analysis using online tools to determine randomness.
• ⏹️ Record the end time of the procedure.
• ⏳ Calculate the elapsed time of the procedure.

▶️ How to Use

• 💻 Ensure Python and the necessary libraries (selenium, requests) are installed.
• 🧩 Download and configure the appropriate WebDriver for Chrome.
• 🏃‍♂️ Run the script and observe the output.
• 🔍 Interpret the results based on the statistical analysis.

📝 Note

• 🌐 This procedure utilizes online tools for statistical analysis. Ensure a stable internet connection.
• 🔧 Adjust the byte generation settings and statistical parameters as needed.
• 🎲 Results may vary depending on the randomness of the generated byte sequence.
