In substitution/permutation (SP) Cipher transformation, the avalanche effect describes how the changing one bit of input results on average of a change to ___ of the output bits.

Step 1
The avalanche effect refers to the phenomenon where a small change in the input (such as flipping a single bit) results in a significant change in the output. Show more…

Let π be a permutation of the integers 0, 1, 2, ..., (2^n - 1), such that π(m) gives the permuted value of m, 0 ≤ m < 2^n. Put another way, π maps the set of n-bit integers into itself and no two integers map into the same integer. DES is such a permutation for 64-bit integers. We say that π has a fixed point at m if π(m) = m. That is, if π is an encryption mapping, then a fixed point corresponds to a message that encrypts to itself. We are interested in the number of fixed points in a randomly chosen permutation π. Show the somewhat unexpected result that the number of fixed points for π is 1 on an average, and this number is independent of the size of the permutation.

This is a project in which a pseudo-random noise sequence is used to encrypt a one-word message. In order to decrypt the message, a probabilistic approach is used in which advantage is made of the fact that binary coding, using ASCII, creates a situation in which letters of the alphabet have 8-bit ASCII codes in which the first bit is a 0. For this problem, a 7-letter English-language codeword is first encrypted using a substitution cipher in which each letter is shifted by a fixed number of places in the alphabet. (For example, applying this algorithm to the word "dog" would yield "eph" if each letter was shifted by 1.) For the problem here, the shift can be anything between 1 and 25, with the same shift applied to all letters in the codeword. After this, the encrypted version of the seven-letter word is changed to binary using ASCII encoding. It is then further encrypted by being XOR'd, at the binary level, by a pseudo-random sequence (PRN) created using a 4th order linear recursive sequence. This encryption yields, in hexadecimal, the following sequence: FA41086EF9153F. 1. Your first task is to show that the XOR process, when applied to binary bits, yields an output bit stream in which the probability of a 1 is equal to 0.5, as is the probability of a 0, if either of the inputs is random (i.e., p1 = p0 = 0.5). 2. Your second task is to use the fourth-order recursion provided below to generate a pseudo-random sequence that repeats every 2^4.
