    "I tested the randomness both testing the bytes and the single bits in the binary file created from the ASCII file from the appliance console ( see Appendix here or test directory for full result text).

    Accordingly with ENT man page: "If the percentage is greater than 99% or less than 1%, the sequence is almost certainly not random. If the percentage is between 99% and 95% or between 1% and 5%, the sequence is suspect. Percentages between 90% and 95% and 5% and 10% indicate the sequence is “almost suspect”", so having 85.17 percent in the bytes test and 60.52 percent in the bits test should be fine."

    Entropy = 7.998386 bits per byte.
