Abstract
Two keystream generators are described that use mutual clock control b etween a number of sequence generators. One is the T52e cipher, and th e other uses three linear feedback shift registers. Ln the latter the register periods can lock together, giving an anomalously short period . Methods for avoiding this are described.
