Show your work on all problems. Feel free to use a calculator.

1.
Finish encrypting the letter ``M'' (in ASCII) started in class using the linear feedback shift register below and the initialization string 1001. Make sure you show the bits in each cell at each stage, as on p. 58 of Cryptology .
\includegraphics {hw7-1.eps}

2.
Now encrypt the letter ``M'' using the nonlinear feedback shift register below and the same initialization string. Make sure you show the bits in each cell at each stage, as on p. 58 of Cryptology .
