LILI-128
Encyclopedia
LILI-128 is an LFSR based synchronous
stream cipher
with a 128-bit key. On 13 November 2000, LILI-128 was presented at the NESSIE
workshop. It is designed to be simple to implement in both software and hardware.
In 2007, LILI-128 was totally broken by using a notebook running MATLAB
in 1.61 hours.
Synchronization (computer science)
In computer science, synchronization refers to one of two distinct but related concepts: synchronization of processes, and synchronization of data. Process synchronization refers to the idea that multiple processes are to join up or handshake at a certain point, so as to reach an agreement or...

Stream cipher
In cryptography, a stream cipher is a symmetric key cipher where plaintext digits are combined with a pseudorandom cipher digit stream . In a stream cipher the plaintext digits are encrypted one at a time, and the transformation of successive digits varies during the encryption...
