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...

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...

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...

Towards a General RC4-Like Keystream Generator
RC4 was designed in 1987 when 8-bit and 16-bit processors were commercially available. Today, most processors use 32-bit or 64bit words but using original RC4 with 32/64 bits is in...

A Practical Attack on the Fixed RC4 in the WEP Mode
In this paper we revisit a known but ignored weakness of the RC4 keystream generator, where secret state info leaks to the generated keystream, and show that this leakage, also kno...
