This paper reports an investigation into an attack on the LUC4 cryptosystem. LUC4 cryptosystem is derived from a fourth order linear recurrence relation and is based on the Lucas function. This cryptosystem is analogous to the RSA, LUC and LUC3 cryptosystems. Therefore, the security for this crypt...
