# RC4
RC4 is a pure Ruby implementation of the Rc4 algorithm.
## Usage
First require the gem:
require 'rc4'
To encrypt:
key = "nuff rspec"
enc = RC4.new(key)
encrypted = enc.encrypt("super-cool-test")
To decrypt:
dec = RC4.new(key)
decrypted = dec.decrypt(encrypted)
Since encrypt method is used for encryption and decryption, decrypt is
just an alias to encrypt in order to make the usage more intuitive.
# Note
The original algorithm implementation in Ruby by Max Prokopiev
<max-prokopiev@yandex.ru>.
Aleksandar Simic then modified it to include a test suite and gem
packaged it using gem-this.

I switched the project to use rspec2 and am the now the project's primary maintainer.
