Analysis of RC4 and Proposal of Additional Layers for Better Security Margin

چکیده
In this paper, the RC4 Key Scheduling Algorithm (KSA) is theoretically studied to reveal non-uniformity in the expected number of times each value of the permutation is touched by the indices i, j. Based on our analysis and the results available in literature regarding the existing weaknesses of RC4, few additional layers over the RC4 KSA and RC4 Pseudo-Random Generation Algorithm (PRGA) are proposed. Analysis of the modified cipher (we call it RC4) shows that this new strategy avoids existing weaknesses of RC4.

The Stream Cipher Polar Bear
We propose a new stream cipher called “Polar Bear”. It combines constructions used successfully in other situations. The key initialization uses Rijndael, the steady state uses a dynamic table as in RC4 and we guarantee a long period through the use of a linear feedback shiftregister. The efficiency for short messages is better than that of RC4 while for long messages Polar Bear is about a fact...
متن کاملImplementation of Wlan Wep Protocol by Rc4 Algorithm in Vhdl
The WLAN is a network that utilizes radio frequency technology. The security of wireless data stream becomes particularly prominent. The WLAN uses RC4 stream encryption algorithm of the WEP protocol to enhance its Security.WEP itself also has fatal Security flaws, tampering with the data for a variety of active attacks. In essence, the problem is not in RC4 itself but in the way to generate the...
متن کاملMarketing Margin Analysis of Jujube (Case Study: Birjand)
Among Medical products, jujube (Ziziphus jujuba Mill.) is very important due to its very high nutritional value. Jujube as one of the most valuable medicinal plants can play an important role in Iran's non-oil exports. In spite of this fact, unfortunately, the production, distribution and marketing of this product are confronted with a number of obstacles. Therefore, this study can help for ide...

Several efficient approaches to the implementation of RC4 have been proposed and we review some of those. M...
متن کاملAn Analysis of the RC4 Family of Stream Ciphers against Algebraic Attacks
To date, most applications of algebraic analysis and attacks on stream ciphers are on those based on linear feedback shift registers (LFSRs). In this paper, we extend algebraic analysis to non-LFSR based stream ciphers. Specifically, we perform an algebraic analysis on the RC4 family of stream ciphers, an example of stream ciphers based on dynamic tables, and investigate its implications to pot...
