  RC6 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The algorithm was one of the five finalists, and was also submitted to the NESSIE and CRYPTREC projects.
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 parameterised 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.

 RC6 encryption algorithm
RC6 is a symmetric key[?] block cipher developed from the RC5.
It was designed by Rivest, Sidney and Yin to meet the requirements of the AES competition.
The algorithm was one of the finalists of the AES selection process, which finally picked Rijndael.

 AES - the Advanced Encryption Standard
RC6 is a parameterised family of encryption ciphers that essentially use the Feistel structure; 20 rounds were specified for the AES submission.
The speed of the algorithm on a variety of platforms needed to be considered, and assessments were made of speed based on 128, 192 and 256 bit keys.
Flexibility includes the ability of an algorithm to handle key and block sizes beyond the minimum that must be supported, to be implemented securely and efficiently in many different types of environments, to be implemented as a stream cipher or hashing algorithm, and to provide additional cryptographic services.

 RC5 encryption algorithm
It has a variable block size (32, 64 or 128 bits), key size (0 to 2040) and number of rounds (0 to 255).
RSA security[?] has a patent on the algorithm.
Distributed.net has brute-forced messages encrypted with RC5 in 56 and 64 bit keys, and is currently working on finding a 72 bit key.

 RC4 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Because the algorithm is known, it is no longer a trade secret.
RC4 generates a pseudorandom stream of bits (a "keystream") which, for encryption, is combined with the plaintext using XOR as with any Vernam cipher; decryption is performed the same way.
The key-scheduling algorithm is used to initialise the permutation in the array "S".

 FIRST ADVANCED ENCRYPTION STANDARD (AES) CANDIDATE CONFERENCE   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
Comments on the algorithms as viewed against the evaluation criteria are anticipated to be the subject of a majority of the public comments.
Each submitter of a candidate algorithm accepted by NIST into the AES development process was invited to present a briefing on their submission and answer questions.
He said that the algorithm is "forward-looking" in that it runs best on 64-bit architectures, but, conversely, it is "smartcard hostile," and, also, "doesnt favor Pentium." He claimed that the algorithm is fast, but cited the disadvantages of the code length, the dynamic storage size, and the slow primary key setup.

 Advanced Encryption Standard - a Whatis.com definition
The Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is an encryption algorithm for securing sensitive but unclassified material by U.S. Government agencies and, as a likely consequence, may eventually become the de facto encryption standard for commercial transactions in the private sector.
The specification called for a symmetric algorithm (same key for encryption and decryption) using block encryption (see block cipher) of 128 bits in size, supporting key sizes of 128, 192 and 256 bits, as a minimum.
The algorithm was required to be royalty-free for use worldwide and offer security of a sufficient level to protect data for the next 20 to 30 years.

 CodeGuru Forums - I need some encryption algorithm
usually, public key encryption is used to encrypt a temporary symmetric key, which was previously used to encrypt the data.
I would much rather that people use strong encryption where it isn't strictly necessary than that people use weak/worthless encryption where security is a factor.
Even if you had a good copy of bignum (that did things like zeroed all memory during destruction), and a flawless implementation of the RSA algorithm itself, it is still considered insecure to use the algorithm directly.

 RSA Security - 3.6.6 What are MD2, MD4, and MD5?
While the structures of these algorithms are somewhat similar, the design of MD2 is quite different from that of MD4 and MD5.
In recent work, Dobbertin (Fast Software Encryption, 1998) has shown that a reduced version of MD4 in which the third round of the compression function is not executed but everything else remains the same, is not one-way.
The algorithm consists of four distinct rounds, which has a slightly different design from that of MD4.

 RSA Security - Press Release - RSA's RC6 Algorithm Named As Finalist For New Federal Crypto Standard
Designed by MIT professor and RSA Data Security co-founder Ronald Rivest in conjunction with RSA Laboratories, RC6 is now among a group of five candidate algorithms that NIST will examine more closely over the next 12 to 18 months to replace the current Data Encryption Standard (DES) which is now more than 20 years old.
The focus of the NIST process will now shift to the inner workings of the algorithms to deeply study how they operate in order to judge their security, as well as their suitability for hardware implementation and other issues.
With its 128-bit or higher key size, RC6 offers a considerably higher level of security than the current DES algorithm, which has been routinely cracked in ever shorter times as demonstrated by RSA's recent DES Challenge competitions.

 Smart Computing Article - Encryption Tools   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
When using public-key encryption, which is also known as asymmetric encryption, your computer encrypts a message with the recipient's public key (or a code) so that only the recipient's private key will unscramble the code.
This type of encryption is a little less secure because the sender and the recipient use the same key to encrypt and decrypt messages.
He says having a basic knowledge of algorithms and encryption should be plenty to allow a consumer to adequately use a good encryption tool product.

 Advanced Encryption Standard - crypto for the next century   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
It is the selection of the Advanced Encryption Standard, a successor to the venerable Data Encryption Standard encryption algorithm, which was developed by IBM in the 1970s.
Although the strength of the algorithm, and its resistance to attack, is the primary selection criteria, speed and portability are also critical.
While it may seem odd that the algorithm of the future needs to run on the hardware of the past, the vision is that this encryption needs to work on nontraditional devices, such as smart cards, where the resources are still predicted to be modest for a while.

 Mcrypt
Block algorithms are implemented in modes: CFB, CBC, CTR, ECB, OFB (8 bit and n bit, where n is the size of the algorithm's block length).
For a brief description of the algorithms and the modes look at the mcrypt manpage (this may be out of date).
It's purpose was to assist in the development of mcrypt by providing a uniform interface to access several different encryption algorithms, so that the main program is independent of the encryption algorithms and the modes used.
