ARC4 is weak and should probably not be used for new systems. With
htat said, Wei shows us how to use ARC4 in test.cpp via ValidateARC4()
and the FAQ at http://www.cryptopp.com/wiki/Faq.

The safest way to a stream cipher is usually a block cipher operated
in a stream mode, for example, AES in CFB mode or CTR mode. See for
example, Katz and Lindell's Introduction to Modern Cryptography.
