LFSRs (linear-feedback shift registers) find extensive use in cryptography. For example, the cryptographic algorithms in the GSM (Global System for Mobile communications) mobile-phone system rely on ...

If you want to start an argument at a Hackaday meeting, you have only to ask something like “How much does this weigh?” or “What time is it?” But if you really want to start a street brawl, you can ...

Encryption coding schemes for asynchronous data used in message/speech communication systems typically employ an LFSR-based (linear feedback shift register) design. Such a design creates a single ...

The taps are identical for both XOR-based and XNOR-based LSFRs, although the resulting sequences are different. Multiple alternative tap combinations can also yield maximum-length LFSRs. For example, ...

LFSR Counter Generator is a command-line application that generates Verilog or VHDL code for an LFSR counter of any value up to 63 bit wide. The code is written in C and is cross-platform compatible ...

…theoretically, anyway. When [Quinn] lucked into a bunch of 5 mm red LEDs and a tube of 74LS164 shift registers, a project sprang to mind: “The Forever Number,” a pseudo-random number generator with a ...
