Abstract

The lower bounds on the linear and nonlinear complexity profile of a general nonlinear pseudorandom number generator were obtained. The linear complexity and the linear complexity profile are important cryptographic characteristics of sequences. The nonlinear generator called the quadratic exponential generator are studied.
