METHOD FOR GENERATING NONLINEAR CORRECTION IMMUNE FUNCTION HAVING MULTI-BIT OUTPUTS AND APPARATUS USING THE SAME

摘要

An apparatus for generating a sequence of m-bit random numbers in response to an n-bit input signal is provided. The apparatus includes a plurality of random number generating circuits, each generating random numbers, and a logic circuit generating a nonlinear sequence of m-bit random numbers in response to signals output from the plurality of random number generating circuits. The plurality of random number generating circuits may be linear feedback shift registers (LFSRs), feedback with carry shift registers (FCSRs), or maximal-length linear feedback shift register (m-LFSRs).
