-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2011-9123 2011-07-06 20:55:53 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : perl-Crypt-RC4 Product : Fedora 15 Version : 2.02 Release : 1.fc15 URL : http://search.cpan.org/dist/Crypt-RC4/ Summary : Perl implementation of the RC4 encryption algorithm Description : A simple implementation of the RC4 algorithm, developed by RSA Security, Inc. Here is the description from RSA's website: RC4 is a stream cipher designed by Rivest for RSA Data Security (now RSA Security). It is a variable key-size stream cipher with byte-oriented operations. The algorithm is based on the use of a random permutation. Analysis shows that the period of the cipher is overwhelmingly likely to be greater than 10100. Eight to sixteen machine operations are required per output byte, and the cipher can be expected to run very quickly in software. Independent analysts have scrutinized the algorithm and it is considered secure. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: New package for Fedora 15. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program. Use su -c 'yum update perl-Crypt-RC4' at the command line. For more information, refer to "Managing Software with yum", available at http://docs.fedoraproject.org/yum/.
