Abstract— The trend toward converged networks where voice, IP, video and wireless are combined over the same network infrastructure offers significant – and highly attractive – benefits. But this union introduces new vulnerabilities and new opportunities to break into the network and so we need converged security. In this paper we investigate the possibility of using RC4 as a stream key generator for converged network applications. The RC4 was statistically tested against wide range of tests for inspecting the validity of the encryption, and it's mathematically measured for encryption efficiency. All the consequent proves that RC4 with suitable key length is highly secure and efficient enough to be used within the converged network.

designers have selected IP as the common infrastructure for this new converged network for its popularity and scalability.
But due to the increased number of protocols and applications running on converged networks, new vulnerabilities are
emerging and therefore new opportunities to break into the network are added, and so many security mechanisms are needed.
Encryption solution based on RC4 algorithm will fit all types of application running over converged network, specially the
real time applications and cause an acceptable delay. We will apply the NIST suite of statistical tests to RC4 output to test
its randomness and security. The testing results illustrates that RC4 is secure and random enough to be used within the
converged network.
