Dömösi’s cryptosystem [2, 3] is a new stream cipher based on finite automata. The cryptosystem uses specific deterministic finite accepters as secret keys for the encryption and decryption. Though this cryptosystem has been proven to be secure against different standard attacks (see [8]), the proposed encryption algorithms in [2, 3] involve exh

Finite automata are backbones of the cryptosystems based on language theory. Most of the cryptosystems based on grammars and word problems are either insecure or do not satisfy digital signature prosperities. Basically, the cryptosystems based on automata are classified into cryptosystems based on: transducers, cellular automata and acceptors (i.e.
