It is believed to be compatible +with RC4[TM], a proprietary cipher of RSA Security Inc. + +RC4 is a stream cipher with variable key length. Typically, 128 bit +(16 byte) keys are used for strong encryption, but shorter insecure +key sizes have been widely used due to export restrictions. + +RC4 consists of a key setup phase and the actual encryption or +decryption phase. + +RC4_set_key() sets up the B B using the B bytes long +key at B. + +RC4() encrypts or decrypts the B bytes of data at B using +B and places the result at B. Repeated RC4() calls with +the same B yield a continuous key stream. + +Since RC4 is a stream cipher (the input is XORed with a pseudo-random +key stream to produce the output), decryption uses the same function +calls as encryption. + +=head1 RETURN VALUES + +RC4_set_key() and RC4() do not return values. + +=head1 NOTE + +Applications should use the higher level functions +L etc. instead of calling these +functions directly. + +It is difficult to securely use stream ciphers. For example, do not perform +multiple encryptions using the same key stream. + +=head1 SEE ALSO + +L + +=head1 COPYRIGHT + +Copyright 2000-2016 The OpenSSL Project Authors.
