21  * Arc4 random number generator for OpenBSD.
22  *
23  * This code is derived from section 17.1 of Applied Cryptography,
24  * second edition, which describes a stream cipher allegedly
25  * compatible with RSA Labs "RC4" cipher (the actual description of
26  * which is a trade secret).  The same algorithm is used as a stream
27  * cipher called "arcfour" in Tatu Ylonen's ssh package.
28  *
29  * Here the stream cipher has been modified always to include the time
30  * when initializing the state.  That makes it impossible to
31  * regenerate the same random sequence twice, so this can't be used
32  * for encryption, but will generate good random numbers.
33  *
34  * RC4 is a registered trademark of RSA Laboratories.
