This book is the first comprehensive volume on RC4, the most popular and widely deployed state-of-the-art software stream cipher algorithm. After the basic fundamentals of cryptography, the text provides substantial coverage of stream ciphers in general. Other topics covered include key scheduling, key recovery, WEP attacks, and keystream generation. The book also explores both LFSR and non-LFSR-based hardware stream ciphers as well as software stream ciphers. The techniques and analysis presented can be applied to many RC4-like stream ciphers that are based on arrays and modular addition. The authors provide end-of-chapter exercises along with a number of illustrative tables and figures.
