type Cipher

  1. type Cipher struct {
  2.     // contains filtered or unexported fields
  3. }

A Cipher is an instance of RC4 using a particular key.

func NewCipher

  1. func NewCipher(key []byte) (*Cipher, error)

NewCipher creates and returns a new Cipher. The key argument should be the RC4
key, at least 1 byte and at most 256 bytes.

func (*Cipher) Reset

  1. func (c *Cipher) Reset()

Reset zeros the key data so that it will no longer appear in the process’s
memory.

func (*Cipher) XORKeyStream

  1. func (c *Cipher) XORKeyStream(dst, src []byte)

XORKeyStream sets dst to the result of XORing src with the key stream. Dst and
src must overlap entirely or not at all.

type KeySizeError

  1. type KeySizeError int

func (KeySizeError) Error

  1. func (k KeySizeError) Error() string
