In this article we present some weaknesses in the RC4 cipher and their cryptographic
applications. Especially we improve the attack described by Fluhrer, Mantin, Shamir (In …

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 …

In the last three decades, the RC4 has been the most cited stream cipher, due to a large
amount of research carried out on its operation. In this sense, dissimilar works have been …

We present RC4-AccSuite, a hardware accelerator, which combines the flexibility of an
application specific instruction set processor and the performance of an application specific …

In this paper, analysis of a simply modified RC4 algorithm is presented. RC4 is the most
widely used stream cipher and it is not considered as a cipher that is strong in security. Many …

In this paper, we have investigated different vulnerabilities in RC4 and its enhanced variants
to overcome the security attacks. It is established that in spite of several proposals, RC4 is …

Stream ciphers play an important role in symmetric cryptology because of their suitability in
high speed applications where block ciphers fall short. A large number of fast stream ciphers …

Spritz is a stream cipher proposed by Rivest and Schuldt at the rump session of CRYPTO
2014. It is intended to be a replacement of the popular RC4 stream cipher. In this paper we …

In 2005, Gong proposed an RC4-like stream cipher capable of fast operation on a 32/64-bit
processor. This stream cipher solved the RC4 problem of difficult 32/64-bit processing, a …

The synchronous stream ciphers RCR-64 and RCR-32 designed by Sekar, Paul and
Preneel are strengthened variants of the ciphers TPy and TPypy (designed by Biham and …
