In [[cryptography]], '''key clustering''' is said to occur when two different [[key (cryptography)|keys]] generate the same [[ciphertext]] from the same [[plaintext]], using the same [[cipher]] [[algorithm]]. A good cipher algorithm, using different keys on the same plaintext, should generate a different ciphertext, irrespective of the key length.
