Nowadays security has become a great concern in the field of computer science and information technology. In order to protect data from unintended users and to achieve a desirable level of security, several cryptographic algorithms based on various technology have been proposed. Linear Feedback Shift Register (LFSR) may play an important role in the design of such cryptographic algorithms. LFSR based cryptographic algorithms are often lightweight in nature and are more suitable for resource constraining devices. In this paper we present a detailed analysis of LFSR and design of LFSR to implement cryptographic algorithms.
