A wide variety of applications, including data encryption and circuit testing, require random numbers. As the cost of the hardware become cheaper, it is feasible and frequently necessary to implement ...
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 ...
Switching algebra is easily visualized using switches since there are only two values: on and off, or true and false. In digital systems we represent these as 1 and 0, respectively. There are only two ...
