A Note on the Periodicity and the Output Rate of Bit Search Type Generators
We investigate the bit-search type irregular decimation algorithms that are used within LFSR-based stream ciphers. In particular, we concentrate on BSG and ABSG, and consider two ...

Algebraic Attacks on Combiners with Memory and Several Outputs
Algebraic attacks on stream ciphers [14] recover the key by solving an overdefined system of multivariate equations. Such attacks can break several interesting cases of LFSR-based ...

How to Strengthen Pseudo-random Generators by Using Compression
Sequence compression is one of the most promising tools for strengthening pseudo-random generators used in stream ciphers. Indeed, adding compression components can thwart algebrai...

Analysis of the Bit-Search Generator and Sequence Compression Techniques
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...
