RC4 was designed in 1987 when 8-bit and 16-bit processors were commercially available. Today, most processors use 32-bit or 64bit words but using original RC4 with 32/64 bits is in...

RC4, the widely used stream cipher, is well known for its simplicity and ease of implementation in software. In case of a special purpose hardware designed for RC4, the best known ...
This paper presents a weakness in the key schedule of the AES candidate HPC (Hasty Pudding Cipher). It is shown that for the HPC version with a 128-bit key, 1 in 256 keys is weak i...
