Algebraic dependence in generating functions and expansion complexity

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: In 2012, Diem introduced a new figure of merit for cryptographic sequences called expansion complexity. Recently, a series of paper has been published for analysis of expansion complexity and for testing sequences in terms of this new measure of randomness. In this paper, we continue this analysis. First we study the expansion complexity in terms of the Gr"obner basis of the underlying polynomial ideal. Next, we prove bounds on the expansion complexity for random sequences. Finally, we study the expansion complexity of sequences defined by differential equations, including the inversive generator.


\textit{C. Diem} [Algebra Number Theory 7, No. 6, 1281--1323 (2013; Zbl 1300.11132)] introduced a measure of pseudorandomness for cryptographic sequences called expansion complexity which was further analyzed by the second author et al. [Cryptogr. Commun. 9, No. 4, 501--509 (2017; Zbl 1409.94855)] and the authors et al. [IEEE Trans. Inf. Theory 64, No. 6, 4228--4232 (2018; Zbl 1395.94262)]. First the authors express the expansion complexity in terms of the Gröbner basis of its defining ideal. Then they present a corrected form of [the second author et al., loc. cit., Theorem 4] on the typical value of the expansion complexity. Finally, they study the expansion complexity of sequences defined by differential equations including the explicit inversive generator.
