Combining LFSRs for Stream Ciphers: Why do we need high non-linearity?
Linear Feedback Shift Registers (LFSRs) can be excellent (efficient, fast, and with good statistial properties) pseudo-random generators. Many stream ciphers are based on LFSRs and one of the possible ...

Berlekamp-Massey algorithm: case when sequence length is less than double the length of the LFSR
Suppose that we have a sequence of $N$ digits which is produced by a Linear Feedback Shift Register (LFSR) and the shortest such LFSR is of length $L$. A very important tool in cryptanalysis of stream ...

Generate random number which should depend on key
i want to generate random number for example from [1..100].
This algorithm which generates random number should work similarly like ("Linear congruential generator").
Here:
c - increment should ...

Why do block ciphers need a non-linear component (like an S-box)?
Why is there a requirement of "Non-Linear functions" as a component of many popular block ciphers (e.g. the S-box in DES or 3DES)?
How does it make the cipher more secure?
The only intuition I have ...

Where can i find relative software for differential cryptanalysis?
Is there any publicly known software for differential cryptanalysis over some cryptographic building blocks as blocks ciphers or cryptographic hash functions
