Question: Using the simplified RC4 Algorithm of 8 bytes (rather than the full 256 bytes), find the final Keystream and Cipherpext of the following Input string:

 

S-Array of length 8, [S0 S1 S2 S3 S4 S5 S6 S7] = [7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0]

Key, K = [3 1 4 1 5]

Plaintext, PT = [6 1 5 4]

 

Hint: For the simplified stream generation, you can use this pseudocode (only up to the PT length):

                        /* Initialization */ set i and j = 0

                for i = i + 1 to length of PT

                       j = j + S[i] mod 8

                       swap S[i], S[j]

                           t = S[i] + S[j] mod 8

                       Keystream = S[t]

                end for
