The real interest in random generation was started by Galton (if it matters Romans did toss coins and stored bits), random numbers by Pearson, first PRNG is attributed to von Neuman, first working one to Lehmer, as for Fibonacci his insights are nice, but he started his sequences to count rabbits with no connection to PRNG whatsoever. The same stands for LFG - lagged Fibonacci generator was (in multiplicative form) introduced by Marsaglia to overcome deffects of additive one. For bit values 0 FALSE or 1 TRUE, this is equivalent to the XOR operation. It can be expressed using the following recursive relation: where n is the time index and represents modulo-2 addition. An MLS-generating system with a shift register of length 4 is shown in Fig. I cannot find any reference why it is called Fibonacci LFSR, but it is inventors will to name it. MLS are generated using maximal linear-feedback shift registers. The name come (afair) from Fibonacci work on recurence relation, his sequence, and further interest in characteristic polynomials of generating sequences, but the one who gave closed form solution to Fibonacci numbers and researched characteristic equation (the one used in generator with possibly minimal monic to make longest period), was Lucas. Its output depends on state and polynomial, not two states. Keywords: Stream Cipher Cryptosystem, Linear Feedback Shift Register, Address Shift LFSR. That one is handy for software implementations, for the representation of the polynomials can be compressed into a small bitmask.'In computing, a linear-feedback shift register (LFSR) is a shift register whose input bit is a linear function of its previous state.' wiki quote. Reference is given to: Janusz Rajski et Jerzy Tyszer, Primitive Polynomials Over GF(2) of Degree up to 660 with Uniformly Distributed Coefficients, which free main table there (part 1, 2 3).įurther, highbit-normalprimpoly gives one primitive polynomial per degree up to 400, selected has having the lowest non-constant term as high as possible. In particular, all-trinomial-primpoly gives primitive GF(2) trinomials (LFSR with 2 taps, the minimum number) to degree 400. The main principle of the proposed system is that. LFSR’s are a recursive sequence, with new bits generated from oldusing binary addition (mod two addition or exclusive-or’s). Shift Register (LFSR) system, and the other is called Chaotic Map system.

When I need something on that tune I might use Jörg's useful and ugly page of mathematical data. Linear feed back shift registers (LFSR) are one of the most ecient waysto step through all possible 2n1 non-zeron-long bit patterns in a randomfashion.
