Two-Dimensional Cellular Automata for Pseudo-Random Pattern Generators and for Highly Secure Stream Ciphers

Pseudo-random properties of a class of two-dimensional (2-D) 5-neighborhood cellular automata (CA), built around nonlinear (OR, AND) and linear (XOR) Boolean functions are studied. The site values at each step of the 2-D CA evolution are taken in parallel and form pseudo-random sequences, which satisfy the criteria established for pseudo random number generator (PRNG): long period, excellent random qualities, single bit error propagation (avalanche criteria), easy and fast generation of the random bits. A block-scheme for secure Stream Cipher based on 2-D CA is proposed. The 2-D CA based PRNG algorithm has simple structure, use space-invariant and local interconnections and can be easily realized in very large scale integration or parallel optoelectronic architectures.

Fixed point limit behavior ofN-mode truncated Navier-Stokes equations asN increases

The fixed point behavior ofN-mode truncations of the Navier-Stokes equations on a two-dimensional torus is investigated asN increases. FromN=44 on the behavior does not undergo any qualitative change. Furthermore, the bifurcations occur at critical parameter values which clearly tend to stabilize asN approaches 100.     

Activation of Visuomotor Systems during Visually Guided Movements: A Functional MRI Study

The dorsal stream is a dominant visuomotor pathway that connects the striate and extrastriate cortices to posterior parietal areas. In turn, the posterior parietal areas send projections to the frontal primary motor and premotor areas. This cortical pathway is hypothesized to be involved in the transformation of a visual input into the appropriate motor output. In this study we used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) of the entire brain to determine the patterns of activation that occurred while subjects performed a visually guided motor task. In nine human subjects, fMRI data were acquired on a 4-T whole-body MR system equipped with a head gradient coil and a birdcage RF coil using aT^*₂-weighted EPI sequence. Functional activation was determined for three different tasks: (1) a visuomotor task consisting of moving a cursor on a screen with a joystick in relation to various targets, (2) a hand movement task consisting of moving the joystick without visual input, and (3) a eye movement task consisting of moving the eyes alone without visual input. Blood oxygenation level-dependent (BOLD) contrast-based activation maps of each subject were generated using period cross-correlation statistics. Subsequently, each subject's brain was normalized to Talairach coordinates, and the individual maps were compared on a pixel by pixel basis. Significantly activated pixels common to at least four out of six subjects were retained to construct the final functional image. The pattern of activation during visually guided movements was consistent with the flow of information from striate and extrastriate visual areas, to the posterior parietal complex, and then to frontal motor areas. The extensive activation of this network and the reproducibility among subjects is consistent with a role for the dorsal stream in transforming visual information into motor behavior. Also extensively activated were the medial and lateral cerebellar structures, implicating the cortico–ponto–cerebellar pathway in visually guided movements. Thalamic activation, particularly of the pulvinar, suggests that this nucleus is an important subcortical target of the dorsal stream.

Modified Alternating $$\vec{k}$$–generators

This paper deals with a class of pseudorandom bit generators – modified alternating –generators. This class is constructed similarly to the class of alternating step generators. Three subclasses of are distinguished, namely linear, mixed and nonlinear generators. The main attention is devoted to the subclass of linear and mixed generators generating periodic sequences with maximal period lengths. A necessary and sufficient condition for all sequences generated by the linear generators of to be with maximal period lengths is formulated. Such sequences have good statistical properties, such as distribution of zeroes and ones, and large linear complexity. Two methods of cryptanalysis of the proposed generators are given. Finally, three new classes of modified alternating –generators, designed especially to be more secure, are presented.     

Concatenating Indicators of Flats for Designing Cryptographic Functions

Boolean functions with good cryptographic characteristics are needed for the design of robust pseudo-random generators for stream ciphers and of S-boxes for block ciphers. Very few general constructions of such cryptographic Boolean functions are known. The main ones correspond to concatenating affine or quadratic functions. We introduce a general construction corresponding to the concatenation of indicators of flats. We show that the functions it permits to design can present very good cryptographic characteristics.
