Binary Decision Diagram (in short BDD) is an efficient data structure which has been used widely in computer science and engineering. BDD-based attack in key stream cryptanalysis is one of the best forms of attack in its category. In this paper, we propose a new key stream attack which is based on ZDD(Zero-suppressed BDD). We show how a ZDD-based key stream attack is more efficient in time and ...
