In developing stream cipher algorithms, Boolean function is one of vital elements. Attacks on LFSR-based stream cipher is the challenge for the cryptanalyst to get low-degree annihilator(s). In this paper, we proposed Fault Injection Attack (FIA) on Boolean function of Grain v0, which is the original variant of Grain family algorithm. Fault injection attack (FIA) is used on Boolean function of Grain v0 by replacing certain coefficient with value of one (1) which results in the generation of several injected Boolean functions. With these injected Boolean function, we proceed using HAO’s algorithm to find annihilator(s). As a result, we obtained several new annihilator(s) of Grain v0’s Boolean function. This new annihilator(s) will be utilized to launch algebraic attacks upon Grain v0.
