Abstract
In this chapter, we provide an outlook on fault attack techniques aimed at breaking stream ciphers. The chapter will start with an overview of the possible targets for fault attacks among this class of encryption algorithms, and subsequently provide two in-depth case studies on enhancing impossible cryptanalysis against RC4 and differential cryptanalysis against Trivium. After the analysis the chapter will end with a broader overview of the attacks on other notable stream ciphers and provide directions for future research in the field.
