In this paper, we obtain linear complexity and minimal polynomials of all Ding generalized cyclotomic sequences. Our result shows that linear complexity of these sequences takes on the values pq and pq-1 on our necessary and sufficient condition with probability 1/4 and the lower bound （pq - 1）/2 with probability 1/8. This shows that most of these sequences are good. We also obtained that linear complexity and minimal polynomials of these sequences are independent of their orders. This makes it no more difficult in choosing proper p and q.展开更多

文摘We determined the linear complexity of a family of p2-periodic binary threshold sequences and a family of p2-periodic binary sequences constructed using the Legendre symbol,both of which are derived from Fermat quotients modulo an odd prime p.If 2 is a primitive element modulo p2,the linear complexity equals to p2-p or p2-1,which is very close to the period and it is large enough for cryptographic purpose.

文摘Linear complexity and k-error linear complexity of the stream cipher are two important standards to scale the randomicity of keystreams. For the 2n -periodicperiodic binary sequence with linear complexity 2n 1and k = 2,3,the number of sequences with given k-error linear complexity and the expected k-error linear complexity are provided. Moreover,the proportion of the sequences whose k-error linear complexity is bigger than the expected value is analyzed.

文摘The linear complexity of a new kind of keystream sequences.FCSR sequences,is discussed by use of the properties of cyclotomic polynomials.Based on the results of C.Seo's,an upper bound and a lower bound on the linear complexity of a significant kind of FCSR sequences—l-sequences are presented.

文摘Minimal polynomials and linear complexity of binary Ding generalized cyclotomic sequences of order 2 with the two-prime residue ring Zpq are obtained by Bai in 2005. In this paper, we obtain linear complexity and minimal polynomials of all Ding generalized cyclotomic sequences. Our result shows that linear complexity of these sequences takes on the values pq and pq-1 on our necessary and sufficient condition with probability 1/4 and the lower bound （pq - 1）/2 with probability 1/8. This shows that most of these sequences are good. We also obtained that linear complexity and minimal polynomials of these sequences are independent of their orders. This makes it no more difficult in choosing proper p and q.

文摘The k-error linear complexity and the linear complexity of the keystream of a stream cipher are two important standards to scale the randomness of the key stream. For a pq^n-periodic binary sequences where p, q are two odd primes satisfying that 2 is a primitive root module p and q^2 and gcd（p-1, q-1） = 2, we analyze the relationship between the linear complexity and the minimum value k for which the k-error linear complexity is strictly less than the linear complexity.

文摘Cyclotomic sequences have good cryptographic properties and are closely related to difference sets.This paper proposes a new class of binary generalized cyclotomic sequences of order two and length pqr.Its linear complexity,minimal polynomial,and autocorrelation are investigated.The results show that these sequences have a large linear complexity when 2∈D1,which means they can resist the Berlekamp-Massey attack.Furthermore,the autocorrelation values are close to 0 with a probability of approximately 1?1/r.Therefore,when r is a big prime,the new sequence has a good autocorrelation.

文摘We study the correlation between detrended fluctuation analysis（DFA） and the Lempel-Ziv complexity（LZC） in nonlinear time series analysis in this paper.Typical dynamic systems including a logistic map and a Duffing model are investigated.Moreover,the influence of Gaussian random noise on both the DFA and LZC are analyzed.The results show a high correlation between the DFA and LZC,which can quantify the non-stationarity and the nonlinearity of the time series,respectively.With the enhancement of the random component,the exponent α and the normalized complexity index C show increasing trends.In addition,C is found to be more sensitive to the fluctuation in the nonlinear time series than α.Finally,the correlation between the DFA and LZC is applied to the extraction of vibration signals for a reciprocating compressor gas valve,and an effective fault diagnosis result is obtained.

文摘Based on the Games-Chan algorithm and StampMartin algorithm, this paper provides some new algorithms to compute the error linear complexity spectrum of binary 2n-periodic se- quences. These new algorithms are clearer and simpler than old algorithms, and they can quickly compute the error linear com- plexity spectrum of sequences according to different situations. We also discuss such algorithms and give some new results about linear complexity and error linear complexity of sequences.

文摘This paper contributes to the stability of linear complexity of a binary periodic Jacobi sequence.By employing a pair of reference sequences,we prove that the linear complexity of a binary Jacobi sequence is unstable,namely,by changing its few bits in one-period length,the linear complexity of the modified sequences will become far less than the required value.

文摘Combining with the research on the linear complexity of explicit nonlinear generators of pseudorandom sequences, we study the stability on linear complexity of two classes of explicit inversive generators and two classes of explicit nonlinear generators. We present some lower bounds in theory on the k-error linear complexity of these explicit generatol＇s, which further improve the cryptographic properties of the corresponding number generators and provide very useful information when they are applied to cryptography.
