Abstract
In this paper, we propose a fast correlation attack on the shrinking and self-shrinking generator. This attack is an improved algorithm or the fast correlation attack by Zhang et al. at CT-RSA 2005. For the shrinking generator, we recover the initial state of generating LFSR whose length is 61 with $2^{15.43}$ keystream bits, the computational complexity of $2^{56.3314}$ and success probability 99.9%. We also recover the initial state of generating LFSR whose length is $2^{40}$ of the self-shrinking generator with $2^{45.89}$ keystream bits, the computational complexity of $2^{112.424}$ and success probability 99.9%.
