Key Risk / Weakest Tests

Source Weakest Test Pass Rate Uniformity p-value Threshold Margin
QSE Runs 99/100 (99.00%) 0.224821 3
System BlockFrequency 98/100 (98.00%) 0.319084 2
Note: STS evaluates statistical randomness. It does not alone certify cryptographic strength or “quantum resilience.”

Recommended Next Steps

• Run multiple independent batches (e.g., 5 runs) with newly generated data for both sources.
• Increase sequences to 200–300 per run for stronger statistical confidence.
• Track stability: count how often any test hits minimum thresholds across runs.
• Archive all STS reports and parameters for auditability.
