Abstract

RC4, which was designed by Ron Rivest in 1987, is widely used in various applications such as SSL/TLS, WEP, WPA, etc. In 1996, Jenkins discovered correlations between one output keystream and a state location, known as Glimpse Theorem. In 2013, Maitra and Sen Gupta proved Glimpse Theorem and showed correlations between two consecutive output keystreams and a state location, called long-term Glimpse. In this paper, we show a new long-term Glimpse and integrate both the new and the previous long-term Glimpse into a whole.
