Hi,
The fipstest.c does not seem to support the scenario with prediction resistance = true . The case statement for function drbg has to change if prediction resistance is true and also the NIST request file has an additional parameter EntrophyInputPR in case of [Prediction resistance = true ] scenario and this is not even parsed by fipstest.c .
Please refer the document

itself does not use prediction resistance, only the reseed, so you don't
actually need to test it.
