内容摘要:

Many recent stream ciphers use Galois nonlinear feedback shift registers (NFSRs) as their main building blocks, such as the hardware-oriented finalists Grain and Trivium in the eSTREAM project. Previous work has found some types of Galois NFSRs equivalent to Fibonacci ones, including that used in Grain. In this talk, based on the observability of an NFSR on [0,N-1], which means any two distinct initial states of an NFSR are distinguishable from their corresponding output sequences of length N, we first give some necessary and sufficient conditions for Galois NFSRs equivalent to Fibonacci ones, covering and improving the previous work on this research. We then present some new types of Galois NFSRs equivalent to Fibonacci ones. As an application of our theoretical results, we finally reveal that the 288-stage Galois NFSR used in Trivium is neither equivalent to a 288-stage Fibonacci NFSR, nor observable on [0,287], theoretically verifying Trivium's good design criteria of confusion and diffusion.
