Abstract

See full text

A method and apparatus for generating a pseudo-random bit sequence is provided. A first input bit is determined as a function of bits stored in a shift register in accordance with a first feedback algorithm. In addition, a second input bit is determined as a function of bits stored in the shift register in accordance with a second feedback algorithm. Subsequently, a particular input bit to be provided to the shift register is deterministically selected from the group consisting of the first input bit and the second input bit such that a non-linear pseudo random sequence may be produced by the shift register. In addition, a communication unit which utilizes the pseudo-random bit sequence in encrypting a signal to be transmitted and decrypting a received signal is described.
