Otherwise return c 1 x 1 + c 2 x 2 + … c n x n mod k.

Here’s the algorithm from the previous post:

If we set k = 2, the generating algorithm is an example of a linear feedback shift register (LFSR) sequence. As noted near the end of the post, the case k = 2 is especially important in application, i.e. These are optimal sequences that contain every possible consecutive sequence of n symbols from an alphabet of size k. If we wanted to apply a Galois implementation, we'd have to deal with the fact that the initial state of the LFSR is not the first bits of output, and thus not immediately known in the context of the question: by common conventions, the first bits of the given keystream simply are NOT the initial state of a Galois LFSR with polynomial $f(x)=1+x+x^5+x^6+x^8$ producing the rest of the sequence immediately afterwards.The previous post looked at an algorithm for generating De Bruijn sequences B( k, n) where k is a prime number. According to the convention used to define Fibonacci and Galois implementations, we might be using the fact that the polynomial for a Fibonacci implementation is the reflection of the polynomial for a Galois implementation (that is, the coefficient for the terms of order $j$ and $d-j$ are swapped, where $d$ is the degree of the polynomial). This is using a Fibonacci implementation of the LFSR, which is convenient since it is such that the first bits output are also the initial state of the LFSR. And for $i$ increasing from $0$ apply the recurrence $b_=0$ So, the rightmost bits in each line should be the continuing of the keystream after the 8th first bits, this seems to add up for the first three zeros, but after that it's not giving the keystream. In the next line the leftmost bit should go out and the rightmost the value from the XOR operation, the rest should be shifted one place from the line above, hence the structure: So, the first 8 bits of the keystream must be the IV for the LFSR, and the LFSR should do XOR on third ($x^2$), fourth ($x^3$), fifth ($x^4$) and seventh ($x^7$). I am working on this as a part of a known plaintext attack and I have the following keystream: 01010101000110101100 I have tried many examples but I do not get the correct result. I have some trouble understanding what happens when a LFSR is clocked.
