+
+ One data point:
+
+ I can't say anything about the internals of RC4 versus the
+ algorithm that Bill Sommerfeld is rightly calling 'Alleged RC4',
+ since I don't know anything about RC4's internals.
+
+ However, I do have a (legitimately acquired) copy of BSAFE2 and
+ so I'm able to compare the output of this algorithm to the output
+ of genuine RC4 as found in BSAFE. I chose a set of test vectors
+ and ran them through both algorithms. The algorithms appear to
+ give identical results, at least with these key/plaintext pairs.
+
+ I note that this is the algorithm _without_ Hal Finney's
+ proposed modification
+
+ (see <199409130605.XAA24133@jobe.shell.portal.com>).
+
+ The vectors I used (together with the ciphertext they produce)
+ follow at the end of this message.
