CYCLOTOMIC GENERATORS OF ORDER 4

Hana Lichardová – Marek Greško

   Some properties of binary cyclotomic generators of order 4 are discussed. Via estimates of difference parameters there is shown which primes are suitable for designing generators with ideal difference property. For particular generators, statistical properties of generated sequences are tested.

Keywords: stream cipher, linear complexity, differential analysis, cyclotomic numbers, pattern distribution
