Generation of Sequence of Random Numbers defined over Z_4 and their correlation properties

摘要

This paper explores the way of generation of sequence of random numbers based on matrix recurrence relation defined over Z_4 Hamming correlation test and autocorrelation tests were performed on the generated sequence. The results of these tests are analyzed. The generated sequence passes all the FIPS 140-1 tests and also exhibits good correlation properties and hence suitable for stream cipher system.
