1. A method of transforming an original linear finite state machine circuit including a plurality of memory elements coupled in series and linear logic gates coupled between some of the memory elements, and a feedback connection coupled from a source tap at an output of one of the memory elements to a destination tap coupled to an input of another of the memory elements, comprising:

  • shifting the source tap of the feedback connection to the right or left along the series of memory elements; and

    shifting the destination tap of the feedback connection in a same direction as the source tap to generate a transformed linear finite state machine.
