  RC6 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In cryptography, RC6 is a symmetric key block cipher derived from RC5.
RC6 proper has a block size of 128 bits and supports key sizes of 128, 192 and 256 bits, but, like RC5, it can be parametrised to support a wide variety of word-lengths, key sizes and number of rounds.
RC6 is very similar to RC5 in structure, using data-dependent rotations, modular addition and XOR operations; in fact, RC6 could be viewed as interweaving two parallel RC5 encryption processes.

 RSA Security - 3.6.4 What are RC5 and RC6?
RC6 is a block cipher based on RC5 and designed by Rivest, Sidney, and Yin for RSA Security.
Like RC5, RC6 is a parameterized algorithm where the block size, the key size, and the number of rounds are variable; again, the upper limit on the key size is 2040 bits.
RC6 is proprietary of RSA Security but can be freely used for research and evaluation purposes during the AES evaluation period.

 RSA Security - RC6® Block Cipher
The RC6 block cipher was designed by Ron Rivest in collaboration with Matt Robshaw, Ray Sidney, and Yiqun Lisa Yin from RSA Laboratories.
RC6 entered the final round as one of five algorithms, but the Belgian algorithm Rijndael was eventually selected for the AES.
To promote RC6 further, RSA Laboratories has submitted the algorithm to the NESSIE project, the NP 18033 project (via the Swedish ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 27 member body), and the Information-technology Promotion Agency in Japan.

In (Act of writing in code or cipher) cryptography, a block cipher is a (Click link for more info and facts about symmetric key) symmetric key (A person of no influence) cipher which operates on fixed-length groups of bits, termed blocks, with an unvarying transformation.
Block ciphers can be contrasted with (Click link for more info and facts about stream cipher) stream ciphers; a stream cipher operates on individual digits one at a time, and the transformation varies during the encryption.
The cipher was developed by two (A native or inhabitant of Belgium) Belgian cryptographers, (Click link for more info and facts about Joan Daemen) Joan Daemen and (Click link for more info and facts about Vincent Rijmen) Vincent Rijmen, and submitted under the name Rijndael.

The two main categories are transposition ciphers, which rearrange the order of letters in a message, and substitution ciphers, which systematically replace groups of letters with others.
Classical ciphers tend to leak varying amounts of information about the statistics of the plaintext, and because of this they are easily broken, for example by frequency analysis.
In a synchronous stream cipher a stream of pseudo-random digits is generated independently of the plaintext and ciphertext messages, and then combined with the plaintext to encrypt or the ciphertext to decrypt.

 RC4 (cipher)
Though RSA officially terms it "Rivest Cipher 4", the RC acronym is generally understood to stand for "Ron's Code".
Also publicly known are his block ciphers RC2 and RC5, and the block cipher RC6 which he designed with others.
Like many such ciphers, it is essentially a pseudo-random number generator initialized from a secret key of up to 256 bytes.

 Standard Cryptographic Algorithm Naming
Ciphers that have different key schedules, but are otherwise identical are given different names (for example, SAFER-K and SAFER-SK).
If the subkeys are not in fact random and independent (to a close-enough approximation), the cipher may become vulnerable to related-key attacks, and therefore particular care is needed from the application designer in choosing how to generate subkeys.
These appear to be impractical when DEAL is used as a cipher (as opposed to a hash function using a construction such as Davies-Meyer).

 Report on AES2, Day 1   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
RC6 does need a lot of RAM (170-200 bytes) and later in the evening River [ed- Rivest?] presented RC6a with a different key scheduler that requires only 25 bytes of RAM and also is twice as fast in assembler and five times as fast in C - Rivest's middle name of course is Merlin).
He mentioned that if they were two AES ciphers and you used one bit of the key to chose one of them, then half the time you would use a less powerful cipher.
Also if there should be a catastrophic failure with cipher A (a non zero probability), cipher B could be easily substituted just by fixing this one bit in the key.

Introduction Recognizing that the venerable DES cipher was reaching the end of its useful life, in January 1997 NIST (the National Institute of Stan- dards and Technology) announced a plan to select its successor, the AES (Advanced Encryption Standard).

 Re: Avoiding C++ Templates In Cipher Implementation
:) Cipher algorithms are so straightforward that if you copy them ver batim from the specification, the templated version should look very much like the hard-coded version with fewer variables and no dynamic memory allocation.
May I remind the readers that my original assertion is not without supporting data - I have an entire collection of both symmetric and asymmetric ciphers implemented as templates, and they compile without fault on many major compilers.
With the C version, many times the key will be represented as an unstructured array of characters making it difficult to work with the key as a true object.

 FPGA Implementations of the RC6 Block Cipher (ResearchIndex)
Abstract: RC6 is a symmetric-key algorithm which encrypts 128-bit plaintext blocks to 128-bit ciphertext blocks.
The encryption process involves four operations: integer addition modulo 2, bitwise exclusive or of two w-bit words, rotation to the left, and computation of f(X)= (X(2X + 1)) mod 2, which is the critical arithmetic operation of this block cipher.
In this paper, we investigate and compare four implementations of the f(X) operator on Virtex-E and Virtex-II devices.
