Applications of algebraic curves to constructions of sequences

From MaRDI portal





The author surveys some of his recent work on constructing sequences of elements from a finite field with certain properties. The author, together with \textit{K. Y. Lam} [ IEEE Trans. Inf. Theory 45, 1267-1270 (1999; Zbl 0943.94008)], has used local expansions of functions on a curve to construct sequences with almost perfect linear complexity profiles, which are useful in the theory of stream ciphers. The author [J. Complexity 16, 661-675 (2000; Zbl 1026.94006)] has used a similar idea also to construct almost perfect multi-sequences. Finally, the author, together with \textit{V. J. Kumar} and \textit{C. S. Ding} [ Low correlation, large linear span sequences from function fields, IEEE Trans. Inf. Theory (to appear)], has used automorphisms and functions on curves over a finite field of characteristic two to construct binary periodic sequences with low autocorrelation. Reviewer's note: A typographical error appears several times in this article when a closed point is referred to as a close point. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0956.00037].
