The RC4 [<a href="#ref-RC4" title=""Applied Cryptography: Protocols, Algorithms, and Source Code in C"">RC4</a>] algorithm is a widely used stream cipher. Test vectors
for algorithms are useful for implementers. The RC4 cipher can use
different key lengths. Advances in crypto-analysis [<a href="#ref-FMcG" title=""Statistical Analysis of the Alleged RC4 Keystream Generator"">FMcG</a>] [<a href="#ref-MANTIN01" title=""Analysis of the Stream Cipher RC4"">MANTIN01</a>]
[<a href="#ref-MIRONOV" title=""(Not So) Random Shuffles of RC4"">MIRONOV</a>] [<a href="#ref-MANTIN05" title=""Predicting and Distinguishing Attacks on RC4 Keystream Generator"">MANTIN05</a>] suggest that initial parts of the stream output
need to be discarded. This document contains several test vectors
for different key lengths and for different offsets in the stream.
Motivation for this document arose from the implementation of
[<a href="./rfc4345" title=""Improved Arcfour Modes for the Secure Shell (SSH) Transport Layer Protocol"">RFC4345</a>].
The test vectors provided in this document have been collected by
generating RC4 keystream output from three separate implementations
and comparing the streams. The RC4 implementations used are
Libgcrypt 1.4.4 [<a href="#ref-LIBGCRYPT" title=""Libgcrypt"">LIBGCRYPT</a>], Nettle 2.0 [<a href="#ref-NETTLE" title=""Nettle - a low-level crypto library"">NETTLE</a>], and a custom
implementation.
The document contains test vectors for two different keys:
Key 1: The key byte index (starting on one), that is: 0x01, 0x02,
0x03, 0x04,...
Key 2: Generated by hashing the string "Internet Engineering Task
Force" with the SHA-256 [<a href="#ref-SHS" title=""FIPS Publication 180-3: Secure Hash Standard (SHS)"">SHS</a>] [<a href="./rfc4634" title=""US Secure Hash Algorithms (SHA and HMAC-SHA)"">RFC4634</a>] hash function, using the
following command:
$ echo -n "Internet Engineering Task Force" | sha256sum
1ada31d5cf688221c109163908ebe51debb46227c6cc8b37641910833222772a
The generated string has also been verified using the SHA-256 hash
function implementation in OpenSSL (versions 0.9.8l and 1.0.0a)
[<a href="#ref-OPENSSL" title=""The OpenSSL Project"">OPENSSL</a>].
The digest that is generated is then truncated to the appropriate
length, keeping the Least Significant Bit (LSB) part of the digest as
the key.

The key lengths used in this document are 40, 56, 64, 80, 128, 192,
and 256 bits, respectively. The stream offsets used in this document
are 0, 256, 512, 768, 1024, 1536, 2048, 3072, and 4096 bytes,
respectively. Offset 1536 corresponds to recommendations in
[<a href="./rfc4345" title=""Improved Arcfour Modes for the Secure Shell (SSH) Transport Layer Protocol"">RFC4345</a>]. The offsets 768 and 3072 correspond to recommendations in
[<a href="#ref-SANS" title=""Standard Cryptographic Algorithm Naming (SANS) entry on RC4"">SANS</a>].

<span class="h2"><a class="selflink" id="section-3" href="#section-3">3</a>. Security Considerations</span>
The RC4 algorithm does not meet the basic criteria required for an
encryption algorithm, as its output is distinguishable from random.
The use of RC4 continues to be recommended against; in particular,
its use in new specifications is discouraged. This note is intended
only to aid the interoperability of existing specifications that make
use of RC4.
