Re: Non-PK encryption not vulnerable via low key length?!

RC2 and RC4 are both trade secrets of RSA Data Security, Inc.  A
bootleg version of RC4 was posted to the net last year; from everything
I've heard, including some comments from Jim Bidzos, the president of
RSADSI, it was the real thing.


If they are both trade secrets, then they aren't elligible for patent
protection -- sauce for the gander.

Does anyone on this list have the RC4 source or a pointer to it?
