On Feedback Functions of Maximum Length Nonlinear Feedback Shift Registers
نویسندگان
چکیده
Feedback shift registers are basic building blocks for many cryptographic primitives. Due to the insecurities of Linear Feedback Shift Register (LFSR) based systems, the use of Nonlinear Feedback Shift Registers (NFSRs) became more popular. In this work, we study the feedback functions of NFSRs with period 2n. First, we provide two new necessary conditions for feedback functions to be maximum length. Then, we consider NFSRs with k-monomial feedback functions and focus on 2 two extreme cases where k = 4 and k = . We study construction methods for these special cases.

On The Nonlinearity of Maximum-length NFSR Feedbacks
Linear Feedback Shift Registers (LFSRs) are the main building block of many classical stream ciphers; however due to their inherent linearity, most of the LFSR-based designs do not offer the desired security levels. In the last decade, using Nonlinear Feedback Shift Registers (NFSRs) in stream ciphers became very popular. However, the theory of NFSRs is not well-understood, and there is no effi...
متن کاملPeriods on Two Kinds of nonlinear Feedback Shift Registers with Time Varying Feedback Functions
Grain and Trivium are the hardware-oriented finalists of the eSTREAM. They are both based on nonlinear feedback shift registers. In this paper, we study their generalized classes of nonlinear feedback shift registers with time varying feedback functions, namely, Grain-like and Trivium-like structures. Some interesting results regarding their periods are obtained.
متن کاملOn cross joining de Bruijn sequences
We explain the origins of Boolean feedback functions of nonlinear feedback shift registers (NLFSRs) of fixed order n generating de Bruijn binary sequences. They all come into existence by cross joining operations starting from one maximum period feedback shift register, e.g., a linear one which always exists for any order n. The result obtained yields some constructions of NLFSRs generating max...
متن کاملA List of Maximum Period NLFSRs
Non-Linear Feedback Shift Registers (NLFSRs) are a generalization of Linear Feedback Shift Registers (LFSRs) in which a current state is a nonlinear function of the previous state. While the theory behind LFSRs is wellunderstood, many fundamental problems related to NLFSRs remain open. Probably the most important one is finding a systematic procedure for constructing NLFSRs with a guaranteed lo...
متن کاملSearching for Nonlinear Feedback Shift Registers with Parallel Computing
Nonlinear feedback shift registers (NLFSRs) are used to construct pseudorandom generators for stream ciphers. Their theory is not so complete as that of linear feedback shift registers (LFSRs). In general, it is not known how to construct all NLFSRs with maximum period. The direct method is to search for such registers with suitable properties. Advanced technology of parallel computing has been...
