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