Cryptanalysis of RC4-like Ciphers
Abstract. RC4, a stream cipher designed by Rivest for RSA Data Security Inc., has found several commercial applications, but little public analysis has been done to date. In this p...

Attacks on the RC4 stream cipher
In this article we present some weaknesses in the RC4 cipher and their cryptographic applications. Especially we improve the attack described in [2] in such a way, that it will wo...

Predicting and Distinguishing Attacks on RC4 Keystream Generator
In this paper we analyze the statistical distribution of the keystream generator used by the stream ciphers RC4 and RC4A. Our first result is the discovery of statistical biases o...

Analysis Methods for (Alleged) RC4
Abstract. The security of the alleged RC4 stream cipher and some variants is investigated. Cryptanalytic algorithms are developed for a known plaintext attack where only a small se...

Analysis of Non-fortuitous Predictive States of the RC4 Keystream Generator
The RC4 stream cipher is the most widely used software based stream cipher. It is based on a secret internal state of N = 256 bytes and two pointers. This paper proposes an efficie...
