Pseudorandom generators based on linear feedback shift registers (LFSR) are a traditional building block for cryptographic stream ciphers. In this report, we review the general idea for such generators, as well as the most important techniques of cryptanalysis.

On cryptographic properties of LFSR-based pseudorandom generators
Pseudorandom generators (PRGs) are used in modern cryptography to transform a small initial value into a long sequence of seemingly random bits. Many designs for PRGs are based on linear feedback shift registers (LFSRs), which can be constructed in such a way as to have optimal statistical and periodical properties. This thesis discusses construction principles and cryptanalytic attacks against...
متن کاملThe Differential Cryptanalysis and Design of Natural Stream Ciphers
This paper introduces the differential cryptanalysis of additive stream ciphers, and develops its theoretical basis. The relationships between differential and other types of stream cipher analysis are presented. The conservation laws of patterns and of mutual information are derived. The cryptographic significance of pattern distribution of keystream sequences is shown. The cryptographic trans...
متن کاملDesign of low power random number generators for quantum-dot cellular automata
Quantum-dot cellular automata (QCA) are a promising nanotechnology to implement digital circuits at the nanoscale. Devices based on QCA have the advantages of faster speed, lower power consumption, and greatly reduced sizes. In this paper, we are presented the circuits, which generate random numbers in QCA. Random numbers have many uses in science, art, statistics, cryptography, gaming, gambli...
متن کاملInvestigation of FCSR-based Pseudorandom Sequence Generators for Stream Ciphers
In this paper, feedback with carry shift registers (FCSRs) are analyzed with main focus on the general case of FCSRs with arbitrary connection integer and on maximum-period FCSRs. Moreover, a keystream generator that employs the structure of the linear feedback shift register (LFSR)-based Geffegenerator is studied in connection with FCSRs as a special nonlinear combining generator. The consider...
متن کاملA Deterministic Approach to Balancedness and Run Quantification in Pseudorandom Pattern Generators
An easy method of computing the number of 1′s and 0′s (balancedness) as well as the number of runs (run quantification) in the sequence obtained from a LFSR-based pseudorandom patter generator has been developed. The procedure is a deterministic alternative to the traditional application of statistical tests. The computation method allows one to check deviation of balancedness and run distribut...
