RustCrypto: RC4

Crate Docs Build Status Apache2/MIT licensed Rust Version Project Chat HAZMAT

Pure Rust implementation of the RC4 stream cipher.

Documentation

⚠️ Security Warning

This crate is provided for the purposes of legacy interoperability with protocols and systems which mandate the use of RC4.

However, RC4 is cryptographically broken and unsuitable for further use!!!

RFC7465 and RFC8758 prohibit the use of RC4 in TLS and SSH protocols respectively, noting that cryptographic weaknesses in the cipher's design make it practical to recover repeatedly encrypted plaintexts.

USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!
