RC4/ARCFOUR Implementation in PHP
I wrote this RC4/ARCFOUR implementation in PHP - based on the original C source code posted on usenet in 1994. The rc4() call itself is completely self-contained, two other methods rc4_test() and rc4_benchmark() have been provided for testing and are optional.
My motivation for writing it was to replace the dependency on MCrypt in my SpamKit plugin for Wordpress - see Gerry's site for the updated TBT code I will wrap in the next SpamKit Plugin release.
This is software is completely public domain, all I ask for is a simple credit for my work if you find it useful.
View Source: rc4.php
View Source: rc4tests.php
Examples:
1. Simple encryption & decryption
-
<?php
-
require_once( "rc4.php" );
-
-
$key = "0123456789abcdef";
-
$plaintext = "Hello World!";
-
-
$ciphertext = rc4( $key, $plaintext );
-
-
$decrypted = rc4( $key, $ciphertext );
-
-
-
?>
2. Execute the tests and display the results
-
<?php
-
require_once( "rc4tests.php" ); // Auto includes rc4.php
-
-
-
?>
3. Execute the tests as benchmarks and display the results
-
<?php
-
require_once( "rc4tests.php" ); // Auto includes rc4.php
-
-
-
?>

TBTs: SpamKit_Token v1.3
I spotted a “bug” in the TBT code for SpamKit this week when using the awesome power of google. It appears that building PHP with mcrypt support is not that common, which means spamkit causes a fatal error when trying to generate your TBT…

Fair cop, guv…
A quick test with
error_reporting (E_ERROR | E_WARNING | E_PARSE | E_NOTICE);shows no others.It didnt fail the test cases for it, but it caused a ‘E_NOTICE’ warning from PHP. Source code above has been updated.
