Hello Cypherworld, Anyone know how much it costs to license RC4 or how RSA has been handling the whole situation? I finally got my Turbo C implementation to work with the DELPHI 2.0 version, I'm pumped. Now I just have to get GCC figured out and I'll make the Linux version work too. yyyeeeeha. -- thecrow@iconn.net "It can't rain all the time" RSA ENCRYPTION IN 3 LINES OF PERL --------------------------------------------------------- #!/bin/perl -sp0777i<X+d*lMLa^*lN%0]dsXx++lMlN/dsM0<j]dsj $/=unpack('H*',$_);$_=`echo 16dio\U$k"SK$/SM$n\EsN0p[lN*1 lK[d2%Sa2/d0$^Ixp"|dc`;s/\W//g;$_=pack('H*',/((..)*)$/)

Zero, since the thing was protected by trade secret, not patent, and it is no longer secret. However, it appears that the name "RC4" is a trademark and so you should probably use another name. I suggest "arcfour", which is the name of the known RC4 compatible cipher in SSH. Perry
