A Survey on RC4 Stream Cipher

Abstract: Abstract-RC4 is one of the most widely used stream cipher due to its simplicity, speed and efficiency. In this paper we have presented a chronological survey of RC4 stream cipher demonstrating its weaknesses followed by the various RC4 enhancements from the literature. From the recently observed cryptanalytic attempts on RC4 it is established that innovative research efforts are required to develop secure RC4 algorithm, which can remove the weaknesses of RC4, such as biased bytes, key collisions, and key recov… Show more

“…The goal of the attack is to retrieve the original key, the internal state, or the output keystream to have an access to the original messages. From the previous studies based on KSA and PRGA, there are some weaknesses of RC4 such as the biased bytes, distinguishers, key collisions, and key recovery from the state [20]. PRGA is reversible in nature.…”

“…RC4 is considered secure enough when the size of the key is not less than 16 bytes (128 bits). Further details about the keystream generation using RC4 is found elsewhere [17].…”
