In the tech notes that I have, it would seemt that RC2 uses a 128bit key and RC4 uses a 256bit key. Both these keys seem rather small in comparison to something like PGP's 1028bit key.128bit key is about 40 digits - NSA approved - breakable by a PC in a few hours. FC
Correct me if I am wrong - RC2 and RC4 are not public key cyrptosystems, and hence are not "prone" to the problems with low moduli. Vishy
