Abstract: The single-cycle T-functions can be used as substitute for LFSR (linear feedback shift register) in stream ciphers, and such stream ciphers are very efficient in software. We have studied some cryptographic properties of single-cycle T-functions. We present the linear complexity and the minimal polynomial of the output sequences of single-cycle T-functions when n is an arbitrary positive integer.

Key words: single-cycle T-function, stream cipher, linear complexity, minimal polynomial, k-error complexity
