| | What is an LFSR? An LFSR is a Linear Feedback Shift Register. It's a simple way of generating a sequence of numbers that look random. Used in cryptography and in generating pseudo-random numbers, they are interesting because they are so simple. Shift bits and feed a few of them back into the sequence. That's it. Important note: LFSRs are not cryptographically secure on their own. ESPECIALLY 8-bit LFSRs. More on that in the next post on this topic.
