Applications should +instead use \fBEVP_EncryptInit_ex\fR\|(3), \fBEVP_EncryptUpdate\fR\|(3) and +\&\fBEVP_EncryptFinal_ex\fR\|(3) or the equivalently named decrypt functions. +.PP +This library implements the Alleged RC4 cipher, which is described for +example in \fIApplied Cryptography\fR. It is believed to be compatible +with RC4[TM], a proprietary cipher of RSA Security Inc. +.PP +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. +.PP +RC4 consists of a key setup phase and the actual encryption or +decryption phase. +.PP +\&\fBRC4_set_key()\fR sets up the \fBRC4_KEY\fR \fBkey\fR using the \fBlen\fR bytes long +key at \fBdata\fR. +.PP +\&\fBRC4()\fR encrypts or decrypts the \fBlen\fR bytes of data at \fBindata\fR using +\&\fBkey\fR and places the result at \fBoutdata\fR. Repeated \fBRC4()\fR calls with +the same \fBkey\fR yield a continuous key stream. +.PP +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. +.SH "RETURN VALUES" +.IX Header "RETURN VALUES" +\&\fBRC4_set_key()\fR and \fBRC4()\fR do not return values. +.SH NOTE +.IX Header "NOTE" +Applications should use the higher level functions +\&\fBEVP_EncryptInit\fR\|(3) etc. instead of calling these +functions directly. +.PP +It is difficult to securely use stream ciphers. For example, do not perform +multiple encryptions using the same key stream. +.SH "SEE ALSO" +.IX Header "SEE ALSO" +\&\fBEVP_EncryptInit\fR\|(3) +.SH HISTORY +.IX Header "HISTORY" +All of these functions were deprecated in OpenSSL 3.0. +.SH COPYRIGHT +.IX Header "COPYRIGHT" +Copyright 2000\-2021 The OpenSSL Project Authors.
