Kevin,
I understand the inherent problem of RC4 is its structure on
exposing publicly expose the initialization vector and using finite number
of fixed shared "prviate" key, thus allowing --- at least in
theory --- sending a known simple text as a basis to decrypt some of the
messages when a key is reused.
Do you know how this part is different in the new standard?
Thanks in advance.
