[ale] OT: Quantifying Randomness

[krum at smyrnacable.net (Kevin Krumwiede)]

I'm looking for a way to ensure that random data captured from
recordings of white noise does not contain patterns induced by the
equipment.  I've seen programs that analyze the output of a PRNG and
quantify its randomness, but I don't know what they're called and I
can't find anything on Google.  If someone can point me to a white paper
or an algorithm, I can implement it...

Thanks,
Krum
