Why is the output of a True Random Number Generator (TRNG) insecure after it has been compressed?
I came across the following statement regarding true random number generators (TRNG):
A “P1 medium” [AIS31] true random number generator (TRNG) may not be directly used due to cryptographic reasons. ...

If an algorithm can not produce a true random stream, then an algorithm can not alter its entropy [closed]
Can a transform lower the Kolmogorov entropy of a true random stream and then restore that stream with out loss.
If not true then this means a transform can not raise or lower the entropy.

Is it possible to compress a random sequence with high entropy?
I have an algorithm that generates a pseudorandom sequence with a length of 100k and high entropy. I would like to check the quality of its randomness. So, I used a popular software program to ...

How to compare two CSPRNGs? [duplicate]
Let's say I am given to CSPRNGs: RNG1 and RNG2.
I want to select the best one of the two for cryptography.
How should I do it?
Any of the two RNGs can be initialized with a secret key during
tests and ...
