* Part 3 - Self Test Application
************************************************************
Note: Self Test is only installed as part of the Full Installation
Procedure.
The purpose of the Self Test Application is to provide a tool for
verifying driver operation.
When using the Self Test Application you may experience some
degradation in system performance when running in Continuous mode.
(For instance, the mouse may perform sluggishly.) This is due
to FIPS 140-1 tests being performed for every one thousand
random numbers generated. (FIPS 140-1 tests are resource intensive.)
If you would like to change this setting:
1. In the Windows Explorer, double-click the following file:
<drive>:<path>\Sample Applications\SelfTest\selftest.ini
where:
<drive> is the drive specified during installation (C, by default)
<path> is the path specified during installation
(\Program Files\Intel\Intel Security Driver, by default)
2. Modify the variable "RNG_Calls_Between_Test"
To run the Self Test Application:
1. In the Windows Explorer, double-click the following file:
<drive>:<path>\Sample Applications\SelfTest\selftest.exe
where:
<drive> is the drive specified during installation (C, by default)
<path> is the path specified during installation
(\Program Files\Intel\Intel Security Driver, by default)
2. Click the Help button to view online Help about the
Self Test Application.
Tips on using online Help:
