Microsoft recently confirmed that it is finally deprecating RC4, the encryption method used by the Kerberos authentication protocol for the past three decades. Developed by mathematician ...

Microsoft is killing off an obsolete and vulnerable encryption cipher that Windows has supported by default for 26 years ...

The RC4 and SHA-1 algorithms have taken a lot of hits in recent years, with new attacks popping up on a regular basis. Many security experts and cryptographers have been recommending that vendors ...

Ancient cypher meets its end after years of hacks and warnings Software King of the World, Microsoft, is pulling the plug on ...

RC4 is a stream cipher and variable-length key algorithm. This algorithm encrypts one byte at a time (or larger units at a time). A key input is a pseudorandom bit generator that produces a stream ...

Abstract: RC4 algorithm is a famous stream cipher. It could be used to encrypt images quickly and efficient. However, the RC4 has been proved has some drawbacks, therefore it is considered not secure ...

This repository contains a C++ implementation of the RC4 encryption algorithm along with several tests to explore weaknesses in the algorithm. RC4 is a symmetric key stream cipher widely used in ...

Google and Mozilla today announced they’ve settled on a timeframe to permanently deprecate the shaky RC4 encryption algorithm. Google, Microsoft and Mozilla today announced they’ve settled on a ...

A fresh warning concerning the use of RC4 to support secure communication channels online has been issued after researchers were able to exploit the protocol to decrypt user data in mere hours.
