The bit-search generator (BSG) was proposed in 2004 and can be seen as a variant of the shrinking and self-shrinking generators. It has the advantage that it works at rate 1/3 usin...
Abstract. Algebraic attacks on stream ciphers apply (at least theoretically) to all LFSR-based stream ciphers that are clocked in a simple and/or easily predictable way. One intere...
Perceptual hashing is an emerging solution for multimedia content authentication. Due to their robustness, such techniques might not work well when malicious attack is perceptuall...
This article describes new theoretical results concerning the general behavior of a Feedback with Carry Shift Register (FCSR) automaton. They help to better understand how the init...
The self-shrinking generator was introduced in 1994. It is based on the idea behind the shrinking generator and despite its simplicity it has remained remarkably resistant to effic...
