Title:
A Survey and New Results on the Decomposition of an NFSR into a Cascade Connection of Two Smaller NFSRs
Authors: Tian Tian, Jia-Min Zhang, Chen-Dong Ye, Wen-Feng Qi
Abstract:Nonlinear feedback shift registers (NFSRs) are an important building block for stream ciphers. Given a cascade connection of two NFSRs, say NFSR$(f,g), it has been known for decades how to solve the characteristic function of the NFSR which is equivalent to NFSR(f,g)$. However, the converse problem of decomposing an NFSR into a cascade connection of two smaller NFSRs is not completely solved, and only a special case has been studied recently. In this paper, a complete and feasible solution to the problem is given.
