  Ron Rivest's RC6 - New Cipher for AES
RC5 was intentionally designed to be extremely simple, to invite analysis shedding light on the security provided by extensive use of data-dependent rotations.
The philosophy of RC5 is to exploit operations (such as rotation) that are efficiently implemented on a modern processor.
In RC5, the term "half-round" was used to describe this style of action, and an RC5 round was deemed to consist of two half-rounds.

 Informat.io on Rc5
RC5 is a block cipher notable for its simplicity.
A key feature of RC5 is the use of data-dependent rotations; one of the goals of RC5 was to prompt the study and evaluation of such operations as a cryptographic primitive.
Distributed.net has brute-forced RC5 messages encrypted 56- and 64-bit keys, and is, as of October 2006, working on cracking a 72-bit key.

The RC5-CTS cipher is the Cipher Text Stealing mode of RC5, which handles plaintext of any length and the ciphertext length matches the plaintext length.
The RC5 cipher was invented by Professor Ronald L. Rivest of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1994.
When RC5 is used as a 64 bit block cipher, B is 64 and W is 32.

 RC5 in perl5
RC5 is a symmetric block cipher which encrypts in 8 byte blocks.
RC5 is the subject of research at the moment, it is not a tried and trusted cryptosystem.
RC5 has a variable sized key, and has a variable number of rounds.

One round (two half-rounds) of the RC5 block cipher"One round (two half-rounds) of the RC5 block cipher" "RC5" is a block cipher block cipher notable for its simplicity.
Unlike many schemes, RC5 has a variable block size block size (32, 64 or 128 bit bits), key size key size (0 to 2040 bits) and number of rounds (0 to 255).
RC5 makes extensive use of data-dependent rotations, a relatively novel cryptographic operation — they were used previously only in Madryga Madryga — and combines them with modular modular addition and eXclusive OR (XOR) eXclusive OR (XOR) in a Feistel Feistel-like network.

 The RSA Secret-Key Challenge
RC5 is a fully parameterized block cipher, and twelve RC5 contests will be posted.
As well as having a variable key size, RC5 also has a variable block size and a variable number of rounds; however, all the RC5 contests posted as part of the RSA Secret-Key Challenge will use 12-round RC5 with a 32-bit word size.
The first RC5 contest will consist of some unknown plaintext encrypted using a 40-bit key; the second will consist of some unknown plaintext encrypted using a 48-bit key; and so forth to the twelfth contest, which will consist of some unknown plaintext message encrypted using a 128-bit key.

The symmetric cipher commands allow data to be encrypted or decrypted using various block and stream ciphers using keys based on passwords or explicitly provided.
A beginner is advised to just use a strong block cipher in CBC mode such as bf or des3.
All the block ciphers use PKCS#5 padding also known as standard block padding: this allows a rudimentary integrity or password check to be performed.

RSA's RC5 cipher can however be used with longer keysizes, ranging from 40 to 2,048 bits, to provide increasing levels of security.
The number of bits in a cipher is an indication of the maximum level of security the cipher can provide, Goldberg said.
A recent panel of experts recommended using 90-bit ciphers, and 128-bit ciphers are commonly used throughout the world, but U.S. government regulations restrict exportable U.S. products to a mere 40 bits.

A worldwide team of volunteers, using spare computing power, found the secret key for a message encrypted with the RC5-64 cipher late last month, winning a $10,000 prize and, they said, casting some doubt on the security of messages protected by the cipher.
we can say with confidence that RC5 is not an appropriate algorithm to use for data that will still be sensitive in more than several years' time," the team said in a statement.
The RC5 algorithm was designed by renowned cryptographer Ron Rivest, one of the three designers of the original RSA algorithm.
