Summary : Perl implementation of the RC4 encryption algorithm

License : GPL+ or Artistic
Description : This module XS implementation of the RC4 algorithm, developed by RSA
: Security, Inc. Here is the description from Wikipedia website:
:
: In cryptography, RC4 (also known as ARC4 or ARCFOUR meaning Alleged RC4, see
: below) is the most widely-used software stream cipher and is used in popular
: protocols such as Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) (to protect Internet traffic)
: and WEP (to secure wireless networks). While remarkable for its simplicity
: and speed in software, RC4 is vulnerable to attacks when the beginning of the
: output keystream is not discarded, or a single keystream is used twice; some
: ways of using RC4 can lead to very insecure cryptosystems such as WEP.
