Re: Puffer 2.0 Released

New for version 2.0 is the addition of a very fast stream cipher, PC1. PC1 operates with a 40-bit encryption key and produces the same stream output as RC4,

Is PC1 a stream cipher implemented in a "clean room", by reference to an abstract specification of the algorithm implied by the Alleged-RC4 source code, that interoperates with RC4-40 ? -Lewis "You're always disappointed, nothing seems to keep you high -- drive your bargains, push your papers, win your medals, fuck your strangers; don't it leave you on the empty side ?"
