Abstract

Nonlinear feedback shift registers (NLFSRs) are basic components, typically found in stream ciphers and other cryptosystems. The main purpose of these components is to generate pseudorandom sequences of bits. There is no mathematical foundation on how to construct an NLFSR feedback function with optimal period. In this work, we review the existing NLFSR feedback functions, and propose new functions with optimal periods.
