A new method is used to resolve a long-standing conjecture of Niho concerning the crosscorrelation spectrum of a pair of maximum length linear recursive sequences of length $2^{2 m}-1$ with relative decimation $d=2^{m+2}-3$, where $m$ is even. The result indicates that there are at most five distinct crosscorrelation values. Equivalently, the result indicates that there are at most five distinct values in the Walsh spectrum of the power permutation $f(x)=x^d$ over a finite field of order $2^{2 m}$ and at most five distinct nonzero weights in the cyclic code of length $2^{2 m}-1$ with two primitive nonzeros $alpha$ and $alpha^d$. The method used to obtain this result proves constraints on the number of roots that certain seventh degree polynomials can have on the unit circle of a finite field. The method also works when $m$ is odd, in which case the associated crosscorrelation and Walsh spectra have at most six distinct values.

For a prime $pge 5$ let $q_0,q_1,ldots,q_{(p-3)/2}$ be the quadratic residues modulo $p$ in increasing order. We study two $(p-3)/2$-periodic binary sequences $(d_n)$ and $(t_n)$ defined by $d_n=q_n+q_{n+1}bmod 2$ and $t_n=1$ if $q_{n+1}=q_n+1$ and $
t_n=0$ otherwise, $n=0,1,ldots,(p-5)/2$. For both sequences we find some sufficient conditions for attaining the maximal linear complexity $(p-3)/2$. Studying the linear complexity of $(d_n)$ was motivated by heuristics of Caragiu et al. However, $(d_n)$ is not balanced and we show that a period of $(d_n)$ contains about $1/3$ zeros and $2/3$ ones if $p$ is sufficiently large. In contrast, $(t_n)$ is not only essentially balanced but also all longer patterns of length $s$ appear essentially equally often in the vector sequence $(t_n,t_{n+1},ldots,t_{n+s-1})$, $n=0,1,ldots,(p-5)/2$, for any fixed $s$ and sufficiently large $p$.
We give a new, purely coding-theoretic proof of Kochs criterion on the tetrad systems of Type II codes of length 24 using the theory of harmonic weight enumerators. This approach is inspired by Venkovs approach to the classification of the root syste
ms of Type II lattices in R^{24}, and gives a new instance of the analogy between lattices and codes.
The main step in numerical evaluation of classical Sl2 (Z) modular forms and elliptic functions is to compute the sum of the first N nonzero terms in the sparse q-series belonging to the Dedekind eta function or the Jacobi theta constants. We constru
ct short addition sequences to perform this task using N + o(N) multiplications. Our constructions rely on the representability of specific quadratic progressions of integers as sums of smaller numbers of the same kind. For example, we show that every generalised pentagonal number c 5 can be written as c = 2a + b where a, b are smaller generalised pentagonal numbers. We also give a baby-step giant-step algorithm that uses O(N/ log r N) multiplications for any r > 0, beating the lower bound of N multiplications required when computing the terms explicitly. These results lead to speed-ups in practice.
Fermat-Euler quotients arose from the study of the first case of Fermats Last Theorem, and have numerous applications in number theory. Recently they were studied from the cryptographic aspects by constructing many pseudorandom binary sequences, whos
e linear complexities and trace representations were calculated. In this work, we further study their correlation measures by using the approach based on Dirichlet characters, Ramanujan sums and Gauss sums. Our results show that the $4$-order correlation measures of these sequences are very large. Therefore they may not be suggested for cryptography.
Data centres that use consumer-grade disks drives and distributed peer-to-peer systems are unreliable environments to archive data without enough redundancy. Most redundancy schemes are not completely effective for providing high availability, durabi
lity and integrity in the long-term. We propose alpha entanglement codes, a mechanism that creates a virtual layer of highly interconnected storage devices to propagate redundant information across a large scale storage system. Our motivation is to design flexible and practical erasure codes with high fault-tolerance to improve data durability and availability even in catastrophic scenarios. By flexible and practical, we mean code settings that can be adapted to future requirements and practical implementations with reasonable trade-offs between security, resource usage and performance. The codes have three parameters. Alpha increases storage overhead linearly but increases the possible paths to recover data exponentially. Two other parameters increase fault-tolerance even further without the need of additional storage. As a result, an entangled storage system can provide high availability, durability and offer additional integrity: it is more difficult to modify data undetectably. We evaluate how several redundancy schemes perform in unreliable environments and show that alpha entanglement codes are flexible and practical codes. Remarkably, they excel at code locality, hence, they reduce repair costs and become less dependent on storage locations with poor availability. Our solution outperforms Reed-Solomon codes in many disaster recovery scenarios.
