RC4

RC4 is a simple and fast, byte-oriented #Stream Cipher, designed by Ron Rivest and owned by RSA DSI, which accepts variable key size. It is widely adopted such as in #SSL/TSL and Wireless WEP. The key forms random permutation of all 8-bit values and use that to collect input information processed a byte at a time. It has been proved to be insecure and easily breakable recently.
