What is it about?

It is already known that the internal permutation of the stream cipher RC4 generally deviates from a random permutation. These deviations are termed as biases, theoretical justification of which are being reported since early 2000. However, there are several biases (anomalies), which are not proven till date. In this paper, we provide the theoretical proofs of all significant anomalies of RC4 in the 16-byte key setting.
