Abstract
In this paper, we present a new test for stream ciphers named the ‘Bit Inclusion Test (BIT)’. This test provides an enhancement to the conventional avalanche test for stream ciphers. This test is efficient and includes the conventional avalanche test. Additionally, it can capture the shortcomings which escape the conventional avalanche test. We also demonstrate, with examples, how BIT is capable of going deeper into the structure of crypto-algorithms and detecting internal biases which make an algorithm susceptible to cryptanalytic attacks.
