Linearity properties of binary FCSR sequences

Maximal length FCSR sequences, or l-sequences, are an important type of nonlinear sequences used for building stream ciphers. This paper studies the linearity properties of l-sequences. Although it is widely accepted that l-sequences have high linear complexities close to their half periods, it is shown that for most of the l-sequences, linear relations with large statistical advantage exist.
