Crypto.Cipher.RC4

Description

Simple implementation of the RC4 stream cipher. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RC4

Initial FFI implementation by Peter White peter@janrain.com

Reorganized and simplified to have an opaque context.

Synopsis

Documentation

initialize Source #

Arguments

:: ByteArrayAccess key
=> key

The key

-> State

The RC4 context with the key mixed in

RC4 context initialization.

seed the context with an initial key. the key size need to be adequate otherwise security takes a hit.

combine Source #

Arguments

:: ByteArray ba
=> State

rc4 context

-> ba

input

-> ( State , ba)

new rc4 context, and the output

RC4 xor combination of the rc4 stream with an input

generate :: ByteArray ba => State -> Int -> ( State , ba) Source #

generate the next len bytes of the rc4 stream without combining it to anything.
