For FIPS 140-3 the continuous tests specified in SP 800-90B need to be
included on the output of any entropy source.
They are implemented here as a replacement for the primary DRBG in the FIPS
provider. This results in a setup that looks like this:
+-------------+
| |
| Seed Source |
| |
+------+------+
|
|
v
+-------------+
| |
| CRNG Test |
| |
++----------+-+
| |
| |
v v
+--------------+ +--------------+
| | | |
| Public DRBG | | Private DRBG |
| | | |
+--------------+ +--------------+
An additional benefit, that of avoiding DRBG chains, is also gained.
The current standards do not permit the output of one DRBG to be used
as the input for a second (i.e. a chain).
This also leaves open the future possibility of incorporating a seed
source inside the FIPS boundary.
