Stream ciphers and number theory /

This book is almost entirely concerned with stream ciphers, concentrating on a particular mathematical model for such ciphers which are called <IT>additive natural stream ciphers</IT>. These ciphers use a <IT>natural sequence generator</IT> to produce a periodic keystream. Fu...
