RC4 Encryption in VB.NET Module

This function encrypts a message string using the RC4 encryption algorithm with a password as the key. It initializes the S-box and key arrays based on the password characters. It then performs the RC4 encryption process of swapping values in the S-box, getting a pseudo-random byte from the S-box, and XORing that byte with each character in the message to encrypt it. The encrypted message is returned as a string.
