Abstract: In many research areas as computational biology, medicine, pattern recognition and data compression, large amounts of data are analised to solve the increasingly complex problems.
Enormous successes have been achieved through continuous developing of the Information technology.
Many applications using shift registers can be developed in cryptography, testing, coding theory and wireless system communication.
By studying the use of the LFSR ( Linear Feedback Shift Register) in Galois Fields GF(2n) it was demonstrated that for a better security it is useful to operate with arithmetic’s modulo n degree irreducible polynomial.
Built-in self-tests are the kernel of any modern reliability tests. Their applications are ranging from cryptography and bit-error-rate measurements, to wireless communication systems employing spread spectrum or code division multiple access techniques. However the strict time constraints limit the complexity of the tests as such, that multiple compression methods via a parallel LFSR signature analyzer exist.
It is important to understand the available tradeoff options and find ways to attain better error detection at level computational cost.
There are many possibilities to simulate different projects using Advances Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) technologies and Electronic Design Automatic (EDA) tools.
For simulating a system and observing the results it is possible to create test benches in VHDL or Verilog.
