Abstract: Embodiments provide a device for testing a bit sequence generated by a Random Number Generator, wherein the device is configured to apply one or more statistical tests to the bit sequence, in response the detection of N bits generated by the Random number generator, each statistical test providing at least one sum value derived from the bits of the sequence, the testing device comprising: a comparator for comparing at least one test parameter related to each statistical test to one or more thresholds; a validation unit configured to determine if the bit sequence is valid depending on the comparison made by the comparator for each statistical test; wherein at least one of the test parameter and the at least one threshold is determined from N and from a target error probability.
