+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
+All of the functions described on this page are deprecated. 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.

+.IX Header "SEE ALSO"
