Many digital designs incorporate high-speed generation of pseudorandom numbers. Typically, pseudorandom number generation is implemented using linear-feedback shift register (LFSR). An LFSR produces a sequence of numbers that appears to be uniformly distributed over the range 1 to 2n ? 1, where n is the LFSR size. For this type of generator, each output [...]

Electronic security locks, popularly known as “dongles,” are commonly used to deter software piracy. This idea describes a simple yet-powerful design of such a security lock using the linear feedback shift register (LFSR) principle. The lock, which is implemented using Atmel’s AT90S2323 AVR RISC microcontroller, connects to the PC’s RS-232 serial port. [...]

I have shown how parties with physical access to a victim’s GSM cellphone can “clone” the phone and fraudulently place calls billed to the victim’s account. This shows that the GSM fraud-prevention framework fails to live up to expectations, and casts doubt on its foundation (as well as the design process). However, [...]

Placing Components
Generally, it is best to place parts only on the top side of the board.
When placing components, make sure that the snap-to-grid is turned on. Usually, a value of 0.050″ for the snap grid is best for this job.
