The answer of your question is " key clustering"
key clustering generate the same ciphertext for the same message from different keys.it lies under the cryptography.Key cluster enables the easy attack to a  cipher attach when a attacker wants to  break the cipher  with the help  of Brute-force attack he actually tries all the keys which can be possible in this regard until find the suitable one, so the key clustering ,make the work of attack more easy.

If different keys generate the same ciphertext for the same message it is called key clustering.


In cryptography when the same ciphertext is generated from the same plaintext by two different keys it is known as key clustering. Plaintext is the data in readable format. It is also known as cleartext. It is the text before encryption. The encrypted text is known as ciphertext.

A good cipher algorithm should generate a different ciphertext irrespective of the key length when different keys are used on the same plaintext.
