First define secure: do you want to protect confidentiality,
integrity, or both? RC4 (used alone and in standard ways)
does nothing for integrity.
Also check if the adversary has access to the running
implementation (e.g is the user, or can trojan the user's PC).
If yes, the algorithm is likely not the weak link.
