中文摘要	F-FCSR-H v2 is one of the 8 final stream ciphers in the eSTREAM portfolio. However, it was broken by M. Hell and T. Johansson at ASIACRYPT 2008 by exploiting the bias in the carry cells of a Galois FCSR. In order to resist this attack, at SAC 2009 F. Arnault proposed the new stream cipher F-FCSR-H v3 based upon a ring FCSR. M. Hell and T. Johansson only presented experimental results but no theoretical results for the success probability of their powerful attack against F-FCSR-H v2. And so far there are no analytical results of F-FCSR-H v3. This paper discusses the probability distribution of the carry cells of F-FCSR-H v2 and F-FCSR-H v3. We build the probability model for the carry cells of the two stream ciphers and prove that the consecutive output sequence of a single carry cell is a homogeneous Markov chain and the inverse chain is also a homogeneous Markov chain. We also prove that the probability of l consecutive outputs of a single carry cell to be zeros is (1/2)·(3/4) ^l∈-∈1, which is a weakness of the carry cells of F-FCSR-H v2 and F-FCSR-H v3, noticing that (1/2)·(3/4) ^l∈-∈1∈>∈2^-∈l for l∈>∈1. FCSR is a finite-state automata, so its distribution is stable. Based on this fact, we construct a system of equations using the law of total probability, and present a theoretical probability of breaking F-FCSR-H v2 by solving the equations. Applying this technique to F-FCSR-H v3, we obtain that the probability of all the 82 carry cells of F-FCSR-H v3 to be zeros at the same clock is at least 2^-∈64.29, which is much higher than 2^-∈82. This is another weakness of the carry cells of F-FCSR-H v3. Our results provide theoretical support to M.Hell and T.Johansson's cryptanalysis of F-FCSR-H v2 and establish a theoretical foundation for further cryptanalysis of F-FCSR-H v3. © 2012 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
