25 cfa37a7b 2004-04-10 devnull .PP
26 cfa37a7b 2004-04-10 devnull This is an algorithm alleged to be Rivest's RC4 encryption function.  It is
27 cfa37a7b 2004-04-10 devnull a pseudo-random number generator with a 256 byte state and a long
28 cfa37a7b 2004-04-10 devnull cycle.  The input buffer is XOR'd with the output of the
29 cfa37a7b 2004-04-10 devnull generator both to encrypt and to decrypt.  The seed, entered
30 cfa37a7b 2004-04-10 devnull using
31 cfa37a7b 2004-04-10 devnull .IR setupRC4state ,
32 cfa37a7b 2004-04-10 devnull can be any length.  The generator can be run forward using
33 cfa37a7b 2004-04-10 devnull .IR rc4 ,
34 cfa37a7b 2004-04-10 devnull skip over bytes using
35 cfa37a7b 2004-04-10 devnull .I rc4skip 
36 cfa37a7b 2004-04-10 devnull to account lost transmissions,
37 cfa37a7b 2004-04-10 devnull or run backwards using
38 cfa37a7b 2004-04-10 devnull .I rc4back
39 cfa37a7b 2004-04-10 devnull to cover retransmitted data.
40 cfa37a7b 2004-04-10 devnull The
41 cfa37a7b 2004-04-10 devnull .I RC4state
42 cfa37a7b 2004-04-10 devnull structure keeps track of the algorithm.
