Class ARCFour
- Cloneable, IRandom
RC4 is a stream cipher developed by Ron Rivest. Until 1994 RC4 was a trade
secret of RSA Data Security, Inc., when it was released anonymously to a
mailing list. This version is a descendent of that code, and since there is
no proof that the leaked version was in fact RC4 and because "RC4" is a
trademark, it is called "ARCFOUR", short for "Allegedly RC4".
This class only implements the
keystream of ARCFOUR. To use this as a
stream cipher, one would say:
out = in ˆ arcfour.nextByte();
This operation works for encryption and decryption.
