Two dimensional cellular automata and pseudorandom sequence generation

Maximum linear feedback shift registers (LFSRs) based on primitive polynomials are commonly used to generate maximum length sequences (m-sequences). An m-sequence is a pseudorandom sequence that exhibits ideal randomness properties like balance, run and autocorrelation but has low linear complexity....

Description
Summary:Maximum linear feedback shift registers (LFSRs) based on primitive polynomials are commonly used to generate maximum length sequences (m-sequences). An m-sequence is a pseudorandom sequence that exhibits ideal randomness properties like balance, run and autocorrelation but has low linear complexity. One-dimensional Cellular Automata (1D CA) have been used to generate m-sequences and pseudorandom sequences that have high linear complexity and good randomness. This thesis considers the use of two-dimensional Cellular Automata (2D CA) to generate m-sequences and psuedorandom sequences that have high linear complexity and good randomness. The properties of these sequences are compared with those of the corresponding m-sequences and the best sequences generated by 1D CAs. === Graduate
