Hello Nelson,

I didn't frame my original question correctly.

For FIPS, Continuous RNG test should be performed on approved or non
approved RNG that are used.

If I understand correctly, NSS uses /dev/urandom as entropy source but
it does not generate the random number twice from /dev/urandom and
compare them right.

Is my understanding correct in which case, I may have to do these
tests myself.

Thanks,
Sreedhar
