EACirc is a framework for automatic problem solving. It can be utilized as randomness testing tool similar to statistical batteries (NIST STS, Dieaharder, TestU01), for instance for analysis of cryptographic function outputs.
It uses supervised learning techniques based on metaheuristics to construct adapted distinguisher of two input data streams. The distinguisher can be represented as hardware-like circuits or algebraic polynomial.
This repository contains EACirc core and code for data stream generation (mainly eSTREAM and SHA-3 candidates). Further tools are:
- Randomness Testing Toolkit (RTT),
- tools for GRID computations
- Oneclick a tool for BOINC computation (deprecated)
For more information and details see project wiki pages.
Requirements are gcc5 (clang3.6), git and cmake 3.4.
module add gcc-5.3.0 cmake-3.6.1

The framework is developed at the Centre for Research on Cryptography and Security (formerly Laboratory of Security and Applied Cryptography), Masaryk University, Brno, Czech Republic.
