Abstract

The research presents a proposed method with an algorithm written in
Matlab language to determine the linear equivalence of the pseudo-random
periodic sequences mathematically by using the Laplace transform. The
proposed method enables the computation of the linear equivalence to
determine the degree of the complexity of any periodic sequences produced
from linear or nonlinear key generators. The procedure can be used
comparatively greater computational ease and efficiency. The results of this
algorithm are compared with Berlekamp-Massey (BM) method and good
results are obtained where the results of the Laplace transform are more
accurate than those of (BM) method for computing the linear equivalence (L)
of the sequence of period (p) when (L) is greater than (p/2). Some examples
are given for consolidating the accuracy of the results of this proposed
method.
