Hi Miaoqing,

Hi Stephan,

NIST SP 800-22-rev1a and NIST SP 800-90B are used together to evaluate the
amount of min entropy the source provides, and not to decide if the source
has passed the tests or failed. See

https://github.com/usnistgov/SP800-90B_EntropyAssessment

The goal is often to make sure the input entropy is more than the entropy we
expect from the output.

You are correct on the SP800-90B tests (hence I did not refer to them for the 
binary decision). Yet, SP800-22 with the associated tool delivers a binary 
decision.

Ciao
Stephan
