Registration is now open for the Random Bit Generation Workshop, to be held on May 2-3, 2016 at NIST, Gaithersburg, Md.
NIST is in the process of completing the development of approved methods for random bit generation. This workshop will discuss SP 800-90B and SP 800-90C, as well as their validation by NIST's validation programs.
Register Now - There is no cost to attend this workshop. Registration will close on April 25, 2016.

Random Bit Generation Workshop 2016
Purpose:Cryptography and security applications make extensive use of random numbers and random bits, particularly for the generation of cryptographic keying material. A key to initiate a cryptographic algorithm needs to be unpredictable and statistically unique, that is, to have at most a negligible chance of repeating the value of a previously selected key. Selecting a key at random ensures that there is no known structure to the key selection process that an adversary might be able to use to determine the key, other than by an exhaustive search. NIST is in the process of completing the development of approved methods for random bit generation. SP 800-90A has recently been revised. It specifies approved Deterministic Random Bit Generator (DRBG) mechanisms (i.e., algorithms) for generating random bits, given sufficient entropy in their seeding process. SP 800-90B addresses the entropy sources needed to seed the DRBG mechanisms and includes both health tests and validation tests. A new draft of SP 800-90B is available for public comment. The public comment period for this document ends on May 9, 2016. The specific areas where comments are solicited on SP 800-90B are:
SP 800-90C specifies constructions for creating random bit generators from entropy sources and DRBG mechanisms. A new draft of this document will be available for review and comment prior to the workshop. This workshop will discuss SP 800-90B and SP 800-90C, as well as their validation by NIST's validation programs. Reference Documentation: Copies of NIST SP 800-90B and NIST SP 800-90C will not be available at the workshop. If you'd like to reference either document while at the workshop, please print a copy to bring along.

Security Instructions:If you are not registered, you will not be allowed on site. Registered attendees will receive security and campus instructions prior to the workshop. NON U.S. CITIZENS PLEASE NOTE: All foreign national visitors who do not have permanent resident status and who wish to register for the above meeting must supply additional information. Failure to provide this information prior to arrival will result, at a minimum, in significant delays (up to 24 hours) in entering the facility. Authority to gather this information is derived from United States Department of Commerce Department Administrative Order (DAO) number 207-12. When registration is open, the required NIST-1260 form will be available as well. *New Visitor Access Requirement: Effective July 21, 2014, Under the REAL ID Act of 2005, agencies, including NIST, can only accept a state-issued driver’s license or identification card for access to federal facilities if issued by states that are REAL ID compliant or have an extension.
