Title
Feedforward functions defined by De Brujin sequences
Abstract
In this paper, we show that feedforward functions defined by de Bruijn sequences, called de Bruijn functions, satisfy some basic cryptographic requirements. It is shown how the family of de Bruijn feedforward functions could be parametrized by a key space. De Bruijn feedforward functions are balanced and complete. A lower bound of the degree of de Bruijn functions is given. A certain correlational weakness of a class of de Bruijn functions is analyzed and an algebraic method to meliorate the weakness is also given and it will not cause any substantial drawbacks withregard to other requirements. The lower bound given in this paper is by no means discouraging, yet there is hope for substantial improvements. So, improving the given lower bound is proposed as an open problem at the end of this paper.
