# RC4 Algorithm in Rust

This repository contains an implementation of the RC4 stream cipher algorithm in Rust. The program allows you to encrypt and decrypt messages using RC4.

## Features

- Key Scheduling Algorithm (KSA)

- Pseudo-Random Generation Algorithm (PRGA)

- Real-time encryption and decryption of input text

- Hexadecimal output for ciphertext

- Support for UTF-8 plaintext and decryption back to the original text

## Getting Started

### Prerequisites

- Rust programming language installed. You can download it from [rust-lang.org](https://www.rust-lang.org/).

### Running the Program

1. **Clone the Repository**

    ```sh

    git clone https://github.com/Oxion7/rc4-rust.git

    cd rc4-rust

    ```

2. **Build the Program**

    ```sh

    cargo build

    ```

3. **Run the Program**

    ```sh

    cargo run

    ```

### Usage

Upon running the program, you will be prompted to enter a key and the plaintext to encrypt. The program will output the ciphertext in hexadecimal format and then decrypt it back to show the original plaintext.

Example:

```sh

Enter the key: mysecretkey

Enter the plaintext: hello world

Ciphertext (hex): 3e 14 23 3d 25 8b 2c 8b 1a 15 5a 

Decrypted: hello world

Decrypted text: hello world
