What is a linear feedback shift register?..

Answer / Akhilendra Kumar Pandey

A Linear Feedback Shift Register (LFSR) is a sequential circuit used in cryptography, pseudorandom number generation and digital signal processing. It generates a sequence of bits by shifting the content of a register from left to right, tapping one or more of the bits shifted out for use as inputs to the XOR gates that control the shift operation.
