'''VMPC''' ('''Variably Modified Permutation Composition''') is a [[stream cipher]] technologysimilar to the
well known and popular cipher [[RC4]] designed by [[Ron Rivest]]. It was designed by Bartosz Zoltak, presented in 2004 at the [[Fast Software Encryption]] conference. VMPC is a modification of the [[RC4]] cipher.<ref name=maximov>{{cite paper |title=Two Linear Distinguishing Attacks on VMPC and RC4A and Weakness of RC4 Family of Stream Ciphers (Corrected) |author=Alexander Maximov |date=2007-02-22 |url=https://eprint.iacr.org/2007/070 }} (originally presented at FSE 2006 confernece)</ref>

The core of the cipher is the VMPC function, a transformation of n-element [[permutation]]s defined as:
