Focusing on the analysis and design of the RC4 stream cipher, this book provides an in-depth exploration of its variants and related algorithms like HC-128. It begins with fundamental concepts of cryptography, including key cryptosystems and cipher types, before delving into advanced topics. Each chapter presents open research problems, fostering further inquiry, while a comprehensive bibliography serves as a valuable resource for RC4 literature. The authors leverage their extensive expertise in stream cipher cryptanalysis to offer insights into this widely used encryption method.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 14th International Conference on Cryptology in India, INDOCRYPT 2013, held in Mumbai, India, in December 2013. The 15 revised full papers presented together with 6 short papers the abstracts of 3 invited talks were carefully reviewed and selected from 76 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on provable security; hash functions and signatures; side channel attacks; symmetric key cryptanalysis; key exchange and secret sharing; efficient implementation and hardware; and coding theory in cryptography.
