چکیده

The linear complexity of sequences is an important measure of the cryptographic strength of key streams used in stream ciphers. The instability of linear complexity caused by changing a few symbols of sequences can be measured using k-error linear complexity. In their SETA 2006 paper, Fu, Niederreiter, and Su [3] studied linear complexity and 1-error linear complexity of 2-periodic binary sequences to characterize such sequences with fixed 1-error linear complexity. In this paper we study the linear complexity and the k-error linear complexity of 2-periodic binary sequences in a more general setting using a combination of algebraic, combinatorial, and algorithmic methods. This approach allows us to characterize 2-periodic binary sequences with fixed 2-error or 3-error linear complexity. Using this characterization we obtain the counting function for the number of 2-periodic binary sequences with fixed k-error linear complexity for k = 2 and 3. Using the characterization we also show that there many 2-periodic binary sequences with high linear complexity and high 2-error or 3-error linear complexity.

On the Second Descent Points for the K-Error Linear Complexity of 2-Periodic Binary Sequences

In this paper, a constructive approach for determining CELCS (critical error linear complexity spectrum) for the kerror linear complexity distribution of 2-periodic binary sequences is developed via the sieve method and Games-Chan algorithm. Accordingly, the second descent point (critical point) distribution of the k-error linear complexity for 2-periodic binary sequences is characterized. As a...
