This paper describes new techniques for fast correlation attacks, based on Gallager iterative decoding algorithm using parity-check equations of weight greater than 3. These attacks can be applied to any key-stream generator based on LFSRs and it does not require that the involved feedback polynomial have a low weight. We give a theoretical analysis of all fast correlation attacks, which shows ...

Low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes have been implemented in latest digital video broadcasting, broadband wireless access (WiMax), and fourth generation of wireless standards. In this paper, we have proposed a high efficient low-density parity-check code (LDPC) decoder architecture for low power applications. This study also considers the design and analysis of check node and variable node un...

In this paper we propose a technique to blindly synthesize the generator polynomial of BCH codes. The proposed technique involves finding Greatest Common Divisor (GCD) among different codewords and block lengths. Based on this combinatorial GCD calculation, correlation values are found. For a valid block length, the iterative GCD calculation results either into generator polynomial or some of i...

The subject of this paper is transmission over a general class of binary-input memoryless symmetric channels using error correcting codes based on sparse graphs, namely low-density generator-matrix and low-density parity-check codes. The optimal (or ideal) decoder based on the posterior measure over the code bits, and its relationship to the sub-optimal belief propagation decoder, are investiga...

A class of geometrically structured quasi-cyclic low-density paritycheck codes with a cylinder structure graph and girth 12 is considered. The parity-check matrix of such a code consists of blocks of zeros and circulant permutation matrices. A class of convolutional codes is assigned to these codes. The convolutional form generator matrix of these codes is obtained by elementary row and column ...

A code symbol of a linear code is said to have locality r if this symbol could be recovered by at most r other code symbols. An (n, k, r) locally repairable code (LRC) with all symbol locality is a linear code with length n, dimension k, and locality r for all symbols. Recently, there are lots of studies on the bounds and constructions of LRCs, most of which are essentially based on the generat...
