From RSA Security's website:
"RC4 is a stream cipher designed by Rivest for RSA Data Security (now RSA Security). It is a variable key-size stream cipher with byte-oriented operations. The algorithm is based on the use of a random permutation. Analysis shows that the period of the cipher is overwhelmingly likely to be greater than 10^100. Eight to sixteen machine operations are required per output byte, and the cipher can be expected to run very quickly in software. Independent analysts have scrutinized the algorithm and it is considered secure."

This implementation encodes the byte stream to be encrypted "in-place".

Example:
Byte[] Key = new Byte[5] { 12, 34, 22, 12, 32 };
Byte[] B = new Byte[10] { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 };
// Examine B array before and after this next call.
RC4(ref B, Key);
// Examine B array before and after this next call.
RC4(ref B, Key);

Databinding in asp.net 2.0 is takes very few lines of code.

Databinding in asp.net 2.0 takes very few lines of code. This example shows how to bind a CheckBoxList using a SqlDataSource.

Is this file the same as that file? The files may or may not be binary. We could compare the modify dates, or the sizes. But, those are not very accurate to know if a file has really changed.

Introducing MD5 Checksum. We can feed the files into Digest::MD5 in binary mode.

This is a great way to do Incremental Backups.

This is also an easy way to verify checksums when downloading files from the internet which list their MD5 Checksums.

You'll need the Digest::MD5 Perl Module.

Given a string, you can return an Enum value
