In this video, we show the basics of cryptology (cryptology = cryptography and cryptanalysis).

This particular video shows in detail how the modern stream cipher RC4 works.

First, we discuss in detail the internal workings of RC4 and give a brief overview of its invention.

Then, we show a visualization of RC4 in JCrypTool (10:04). Finally, we use CT2 (from 13:04) to encrypt and decrypt text using RC4. Here, we also show what happens, if you change a byte in the plaintext, ciphertext, or in the key.

Thanks for this amazing vídeo. I hope you stay safe!

hello, I don't know what I have to confront the XOR to the encrypted frame so that it returns the keystream

Great video, thanks a lot! There's something I didn't understand- why do we need the KSA algorithm? Can't we just feed the PRGA with the key directly to create a keystream as long as the plaintext?
