RC4 Stream Cipher and Its Variants

RC4 Stream Cipher and Its Variants is the first book to fully cover the popular software stream cipher RC4. With extensive expertise in stream cipher cryptanalysis and RC4 research, the authors focus on the analysis and design issues of RC4. They also explore variants of RC4 and the eSTREAM finalist HC-128. The text introduces basic concepts, such as private/public key cryptosystems and block/stream ciphers, before covering advanced material. It includes open research problems in each chapter and offers a comprehensive bibliography of RC4 literature.
