We focus first on the linear complexity of periodic sequences. By means of the discrete Fourier transform, we determine the number of periodic sequences S with given prime period length N and linear complexity LN,0(S) = c as well as the expected value of the linear complexity of N-periodic sequences. Cryptographically strong sequences should not only have a large linear complexity, but also the change of a few terms should not cause a significant decrease of the linear complexity. This requirement leads to the concept of the k-error linear complexity LN,k(S) of sequences S with period length N. For some k and c we determine the number of periodic sequences S with given period length N and LN,k(S) = c. For prime N we establish a lower bound on the expected value of the k-error linear complexity. © 2002 Elsevier Science (USA). | Source Title: | Journal of Complexity | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/103493 | ISSN: | 0885064X | DOI: | 10.1006/jcom.2001.0621 |
