- Dear Netters,
-
- I am looking for an algorithm to compute a primitive polynomial of a Linear
- Feedback Shift Register. A primitive polynomial is a polynomial that cause
- an n-bit LFSR to generate a sequence 2**n-1 different numbers (usually
- there are many such polynomials for a given n; I am interested in just
- one...).

- Thanks,
