    Hi All,

    NIST just published Bridging the Gap between Standards on Random Number Generation: Comparison of SP 800-90 Series and AIS 20/31 | Draft IR 8446 is Available for Public Comment

    This report studies the cryptographic random number generation standards and guidelines written by Germany's Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) and NIST, namely AIS 20/31 and the NIST Special Publication (SP) 800-90 series. It compares these publications, focusing on the similarities and differences in their terminology, assumptions, and requirements. The report also aims to improve communications between all involved parties, promote a shared understanding, and reduce and resolve inconsistencies in related standards.
