A chronological survey demonstrating the cryptanalysis of RC4 stream cipher is presented in
this paper. We have summarized the various weaknesses of RC4 algorithm followed by the …

RC4 Stream Cipher and Its Variants is the first book to fully cover the popular software
stream cipher RC4. With extensive expertise in stream cipher cryptanalysis and RC4 …

Cryptographic ciphers come in two flavours: symmetric (AES, etc.) and asymmetric (RSA,
etc.). The symmetric ciphers are further divided into block ciphers and stream ciphers. Block …

This paper reconsiders the design of the stream cipher RC4, and proposes an improved
variant, which we call``Spritz''(since the output comes in fine drops rather than big blocks.) …

RC4 is the most popular stream cipher in the domain of cryptology. In this paper, we present
a systematic study of the hardware implementation of RC4, and propose the fastest known …

In this paper, we present several weaknesses in the stream cipher RC4. First, we present a
technique to automatically reveal linear correlations in the PRGA of RC4. With this method …

RC4 has been the most popular stream cipher in the history of symmetric key cryptography.
Its internal state contains a permutation over all possible bytes from 0 to 255, and it attempts …

In this paper, the RC4 Key Scheduling Algorithm (KSA) is theoretically studied to reveal non-
uniformity in the expected number of times each value of the permutation is touched by the …

This paper investigates the practical security of RC4 in broadcast setting where the same
plaintext is encrypted with different user keys. We introduce several new biases in the initial …

In this paper we construct several tools for manipulating pools of biases in the analysis of
RC4. Then, we show that optimized strategies can break WEP based on 4 000 packets by …
