How many bits are used suppose we think of it from the


Problem

RC4 has a secret internal state which is a permutation of all the possible values of the vector S and the two indices i and j.

a. Using a straightforward scheme to store the internal state, how many bits are used?

b. Suppose we think of it from the point of view of how much information is represented by the state. In that case, we need to determine how may different states there are, then take the log to the base 2 to find out how many bits of information this represents. Using this approach, how many bits would be needed to represent the state?
