In the first line of RC4:
i = (i + 1) mod 256
'i' cycles through 256 values.
If we add in an odd number, 0 < r < 256, ie:
i = (i + r) mod 256
'i' also cycles through 256 values - but in a different sequence.
Does these new 127 variants of RC4 behave in a similar way with regard to
cycle length and precautions regarding the key set-up?
Keith.
