Abstract. Inthis paper we present several weaknesses in the keyscheduling algorithm of RC4, and describe their cryptanalytic signi cance. We identify a large number of weak keys, i...
Abstract. We present several weaknesses in the key scheduling algorithm of RC4 when the secret key contains an initialization vector – a cryptographic scheme typically used by th...
Abstract. Here we study a weakness of the RC4 Key Scheduling Algorithm (KSA) that has already been noted by Mantin and Mironov. Consider the RC4 permutation S of N (usually 256) by...
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...
Consider the permutation S in RC4. Roos pointed out in 1995 that after the Key Scheduling Algorithm (KSA) of RC4, each of the initial bytes of the permutation, i.e., S[y] for smal...
