One method of design the LFSR-based stream ciphers is using irregular clock that it is most famous structures. In recent years became a springboard technique called clock control that improves efficiency compared to generators has become tighter. In this way, instead of several clock has been changed and values, in the state through the middle. Per basic polynomials, a jump in the index jump is still there. It is clear that for the length of each LFSR, there are several initial polynomials that same period, but the size of the jump index is different. In this paper, by analyzing the correlation attack on generators springboard, it was concluded that the selection of index jump polynomials with maximum results in minimum correlation between output and input sequence is productive. So in the design of stream ciphers with a springboard generation structure, in terms of correlation attacks, the polynomial with most rate of jump up the index is priority.
