Professor Ron Rivest will be presenting a talk titled "The Design of RC4" at the RSA Data Security Conference in San Francisco (January 17 to 19). It should be interesting.
What will the legal status of RC4 be after this talk? Will RSADSI stop claiming that RC4 is still protected as a trade secret, or will everyone attending the talk be required to sign NDAs? Wei Dai
