摘要
The linear complexity and the k-error linear complexity are important concepts for the theory of stream ciphers in cryptology. Keystreams that are suitable for stream ciphers must have large values of these complexity measures. We study periodic sequences over an arbitrary finite field 𝔽q and establish conditions under which there are many periodic sequences over 𝔽q with period N, maximal linear complexity N, and k-error linear complexity close to N. The existence of many such sequences thwarts attacks against the keystreams by exhaustive search.
