The SP800-90B Approved Health Tests and Their Cutoffs (N23a)

The SP 800-90B approved health tests detect a particular class of failures, with cutoffs set under implicit assumptions. This talk reviews relevant SP 800-90B requirements, explores failure modes detected by these tests, examines the connection between selected cutoffs and the targeted false positive rate, and discusses how these aspects establish the test’s statistical power under specific failure modes.
