Summary: 
In this paper, we examine the computational Diffie-Hellman problem and decisional Diffie-Hellman problem in 3-rd order linear feedback shift register and show that the shift register based Diffie-Hellman problems are equivalent to the Diffie-Hellman problems over prime subgroup of GF(p3e) respectively. This result will be useful in constructing new cryptographic primitives based on the hardness of the shift register based Diffie-Hellman problems.
