Abstract

The shrinking generator which is one of clock-controlled generator is a very simple generator with good cryptographic properties. A nonlinear sequence generator based on two 90/150 maximum length cellular automata can generate pseudorandom sequences at each cell of cellular automata whose characteristic polynomials are same. The nonlinear sequence generated by cellular automata has a larger period and a higher linear complexity than shrunken sequence generated by LFSRs. In this paper we analyze shrunken-interleaved sequence based on 90/150 maximum length cellular automata. We show that the sequence generated by nonlinear sequence generator based on cellular automata belongs to the class of interleaved sequence. And we give an effective algorithm for reconstructing unknown bits of output sequence based on intercepted keystream bits.

스트림 암호시스템에 사용되는 불규칙 시각 제어 생성기인 수축수열 생성기는 두 개의 LFSR(Linear Feedback Shift Register)로 구성되며 이 생성기에 의해 생성되는 수열은 비선형수열임이 알려져 있다. 두 개의 최대길이를 갖는 90/150 셀룰라 오토마타 기반의 비선형수열 생성기는 각 셀에서 동일한 특성다항식을 갖는 의사 난수열을 효과적으로 생성할 수 있으므로 LFSR에 의해 생성되는 수열에 비하여 주기와 선형복잡도가 높은 비선형수열을 생성할 수 있다. 본 논문은 이러한 비선형수열에 대한 분석으로 90/150 셀룰라 오토마타 기반의 수축-삽입수열(shrunken-interleaved sequence)을 다룬다. 셀룰라 오토마타 기반의 비선형수열 생성기에 의해 생성되는 수축-삽입수열을 삽입수열로 분석이 가능함을 보이고 출력 수열의 일부를 알 때 알려지지 않은 새로운 출력 수열의 일부를 효과적으로 재구성하는 알고리즘을 제안한다.
