Input-Trees of Finite Automata and Application to Cryptanalysis

In this papert weights of output set and of input set for finiteautomata are discussed. For a weakly invertible finite automaton, we proye thatfor states with minimal output weight, the distribution of input sets is uniform.Then for a kind of compound finite automata, we give weights of output set and ofinput set explicitly, and a characterization of their input-trees. For finite automatonpublic key cryptosystems, of which automata in public keys belong to such a kind ofcompound finite automata, we evaluate…
