Parameter selection of autocorrelation test for block ciphers by FAN Li-min1, FENG Deng-guo1, ZHOU Yong-bin1

“…Autocorrelation test was a statistical test to evaluate the correlation between one sequence and the corresponding non-cyclic left-shifted d bits sequence.It was impractical to adopt all the values of d since its range was often very wide.Three relations between parameters of randomness test were defined firstly.Then the relationships among the subclass D={1,2,m/4,m/2,3m/4,m,2m}of autocorrelation test for block cipher were studied by statistical experiments,where m was block length.The experiments show that the prefer choice of parameter d is m when doing autocorrelation test for block cipher.The method is also available for parameter selection of other randomness test for other types of cryptosystem.…”

Performance analysis for pseudo-random asynchronous FH-CDMA system based on average-hit method by GTao ZHEN, Qi ZENG

“…The pseudo-random M-ary sequence (such as RS code,polynomial code and low-hit zone FH code and so forth) is widely adopted as FH code in FH-CDMA system.However,the performance of FH-CDMA system employing FH sequence is usually evaluated by simulation,and lack of substantial theoretical analysis.A systematic method for modeling the frequency-hit according to the pre-assigned FH code was proposed; then with the proposed model,the analysis for multi-access interference(MAI)was simplified.The numerical relation between the properties of pseudo-random FH code and the error-rate performance of FH-CDMA system was established.Theoretical and simulation results show that the proposed average-hit model is an efficient method to evaluate the frequency hit and the error-rate of pseudo-randomly FH-CDMA system.Meanwhile,the optimal error-rate low-bound of FH-CDMA system which can achieved by pseudo-random FH code is shown in the conclusion.…”
