Abstract(in English) If the ciphertexts generated from defferent keys are equivalent, these keys are called equivalent keys. In a stream cipher, since a ciphertext is generated by XORing a plaintext to a keystream, the key which generates a phase shifted keystream can also be called equivalent key. In this paper, we propose a key recovery attack using the phase shifted equivalent keys. Our attack is a new cryptanalysis method on stream ciphers. We show effectiveness of our attack by applying it to Grain v1. In Grain v1, our attack can recover an 80-bit key with time complexity of 2^<79> by using chosen IVs. This time complexity is lower than 2^<80> of exhaustive key search.
