Turing (cipher)
Encyclopedia
Turing is a stream cipher
developed by Gregory G. Rose
and Philip Hawkes at Qualcomm
for CDMA. It is designed to be fast in software and achieves around 5.5 cycles/byte on some x86 processors.
Turing generates 160 bits of output in each round by applying a non-linear filter to the internal state of an LFSR.
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...
