Pseudo-Random Sequences (New) [HB 84]

Magma V2.7 provides tools for the creation and analysis of pseudo-random bit sequences. The universe of these sequences is generally $\mbox{\rm GF}(2)$. However, some functions, such as Berlekamp-Massey, apply to sequences defined over arbitrary finite fields.

• Generation of n elements of a Linear Feedback Shift Register sequence (LFSR sequence)
• Next state of a LFSR sequence
• Characteristic polynomial of a LFSR sequence (BerlekampMassey algorithm)
• Shrinking generator
• Random sequence via the RSA random bit generator
• Random sequence via the Blum Blum Shub generator
• Auto-correlation of a binary sequence
• Cross correlation of two binary sequences
• Decimation of a sequence
