For those not paying attention, there is RC2 code on sci.crypt. RSADSI
is acting as if it is real, and will publish some legal posturing about
it real soon now.

On sci.crypt Bruce said it was a crummy algorithm...
Can anyone talk a little bit about it, what it's been used for, what
makes it weak/strong, etc.?

At a W3C security meeting we were discussing encryption algs to use, not
suprisingly RC4 came up, Ron suggested that we also include `aledged-rc4'.
Maybe we need aledged-rc2 as well :-)
Then again I thing we might end up with "alledged HTTP" and similar products
from a number of vendors if we went too far down that route.
