<p>RC4_set_key, RC4 - RC4 encryption</p>

<h1 id="SYNOPSIS">SYNOPSIS</h1>

<pre><code> #include &lt;openssl/rc4.h&gt;

 void RC4_set_key(RC4_KEY *key, int len, const unsigned char *data);

 void RC4(RC4_KEY *key, unsigned long len, const unsigned char *indata,
          unsigned char *outdata);</code></pre>

<h1 id="DESCRIPTION">DESCRIPTION</h1>

<p>This library implements the Alleged RC4 cipher, which is described for example in <i>Applied Cryptography</i>. It is believed to be compatible with RC4[TM], a proprietary cipher of RSA Security Inc.</p>

<p>RC4 is a stream cipher with variable key length. Typically, 128 bit (16 byte) keys are used for strong encryption, but shorter insecure key sizes have been widely used due to export restrictions.</p>

<p>RC4 consists of a key setup phase and the actual encryption or decryption phase.</p>

<p>RC4_set_key() sets up the <b>RC4_KEY</b> <b>key</b> using the <b>len</b> bytes long key at <b>data</b>.</p>

<p>RC4() encrypts or decrypts the <b>len</b> bytes of data at <b>indata</b> using <b>key</b> and places the result at <b>outdata</b>. Repeated RC4() calls with the same <b>key</b> yield a continuous key stream.</p>

<p>Since RC4 is a stream cipher (the input is XORed with a pseudo-random key stream to produce the output), decryption uses the same function calls as encryption.</p>

<h1 id="RETURN-VALUES">RETURN VALUES</h1>

<p>RC4_set_key() and RC4() do not return values.</p>

<h1 id="NOTE">NOTE</h1>

<p>Applications should use the higher level functions <a href="../man3/EVP_EncryptInit.html">EVP_EncryptInit(3)</a> etc. instead of calling these functions directly.</p>

<p>It is difficult to securely use stream ciphers. For example, do not perform multiple encryptions using the same key stream.</p>
