13  * This code is derived from section 17.1 of Applied Cryptography,
14  * second edition, which describes a stream cipher allegedly
15  * compatible with RSA Labs "RC4" cipher (the actual description of
16  * which is a trade secret).  The same algorithm is used as a stream
17  * cipher called "arcfour" in Tatu Ylonen's ssh package.
18  *
19  * Here the stream cipher has been modified always to include the time
20  * when initializing the state.  That makes it impossible to
21  * regenerate the same random sequence twice, so this can't be used
22  * for encryption, but will generate good random numbers.
