In this paper we explore the intriguing factors involved in the non oneone nature of the RC4, and explore new techniques and present interesting findings regarding the same. The first part of this paper studies near colliding keys of the RC4, and discusses how these keys are localized into clusters in the key-space. The second part of this paper proposes a new collision search algorithm specifi...

Because of its simplicity, ease of implementation, and speed, RC4 is one of the most widely used software oriented stream ciphers. It is used in several popular protocols such as SSL and it has also been integrated into many applications and software such as Microsoft Windows, Lotus Notes, Oracle Secure SQL and Skype. In this paper, we present an obfuscated implementation for RC4. In addition t...

The RC4 is a stream cipher widely deployed in software applications due to its simplicity and efficiency. The paper presents a cryptanalytic attack that employs the tree representation of this cipher and introduces an abstraction in the form of general conditions for managing the information about its internal state. In order to find the initial state, the tree of general conditions is searched...

In this paper, the hardware implementations of five representative stream ciphers are compared in terms of performance and consumed area in an FPGA device. The ciphers used for the comparison are the A5/1, W7, E0, RC4 and Helix. The first three ones have been used for the security part of well-known standards, especially wireless communication protocols. The Helix cipher is a recently introduce...

The RC4 stream cipher has shown to be quite resilient to cryptanalysis for the 26 years it has been around. The algorithm is still one of the most widely used methods of encryption over the Internet today being implemented through the Secure Socket Layer and Transport Layer Security protocols. Genetic algorithms are a sub-class of evolutionary algorithms that have been used to help solve many d...

-In the today world, security is required to transmit confidential information over the network. Security is also demanding in wide range of applications. Cryptographic algorithms play a vital role in providing the data security against malicious attacks. But on the other hand, they consume significant amount of computing resources like CPU time, memory, encryption time etc. Normally, symmetric...
