Here is the description from RSA's website: + +RC4 is a stream cipher designed by Rivest for RSA Data Security +(now RSA Security). It is a variable key-size stream cipher with +byte-oriented operations. The algorithm is based on the use of a +random permutation. Analysis shows that the period of the cipher +is overwhelmingly likely to be greater than 10100. Eight to sixteen +machine operations are required per output byte, and the cipher can +be expected to run very quickly in software. Independent analysts +have scrutinized the algorithm and it is considered secure. + +Based substantially on the "RC4 in 3 lines of perl" found at +http://www.cypherspace.org + +WWW: http://search.cpan.org/search?dist=Crypt-RC4 + +Seamus Venasse -- cgit v1.2.3
