Abstract

We study the asymptotic behavior of stream cipher security measures associated with algebraic feedback shift registers and feedback based on the ring Z[√-2]. For non-periodic sequences we consider normalized √2-adic complexity and study the set of accumulation points for a fixed sequence. The the set of accumulation points is a closed subinterval of the real closed interval [0, 1]. We see that this interval is of the form [B, 1 - B] "most" of the time, and that all such intervals occur for some sequence.
