SUBJECT:  RC4 Source Code


I've tested this.  It is compatible with the RC4 object module
that comes in the various RSA toolkits.  

/* rc4.h */
typedef struct rc4_key
{      
     unsigned char state[256];       
     unsigned char x;        
     unsigned char y;
} rc4_key;
void prepare_key(unsigned char *key_data_ptr,int key_data_len,
rc4_key *key);
void rc4(unsigned char *buffer_ptr,int buffer_len,rc4_key * key);


/*rc4.c */
#include "rc4.h"
static void swap_byte(unsigned char *a, unsigned char *b);
void prepare_key(unsigned char *key_data_ptr, int key_data_len,
rc4_key *key)
{
     unsigned char swapByte;
     unsigned char index1;
     unsigned char index2;
     unsigned char* state;
     short counter;     
     
     state = &key->state[0];         
     for(counter = 0; counter < 256; counter++)              
     state[counter] = counter;               
     key->x = 0;     
     key->y = 0;     
     index1 = 0;     
     index2 = 0;             
     for(counter = 0; counter < 256; counter++)      
     {               
          index2 = (key_data_ptr[index1] + state[counter] +
index2) % 256;                
          swap_byte(&state[counter], &state[index2]);            

          index1 = (index1 + 1) % key_data_len;  
     }       
 }
