Final answer:
The Fibonacci Shrinking cipher is a software-based stream cipher that uses the Lagged Fibonacci generator and concept borrowed from shrinking generator ciphers. The correct answer is D) Trivium.
Step-by-step explanation:
The subject of this question is Computers and Technology. The question is asking about a cipher published by the German engineering firm Siemens in 1993, known as the Fibonacci Shrinking cipher. This cipher is a software-based stream cipher that uses the Lagged Fibonacci generator and the concept of shrinking generator ciphers.
The correct answer is D) Trivium. Trivium is a stream cipher algorithm that was proposed in 2005 and it combines elements of the Lagged Fibonacci generator with the shrinking generator ciphers.
