RC6-Block-Cipher

Implementation of RC6 encryption and decryption in python.

Specification

• Block size : 4*32 bit blocks

• Key size : 128bit

• Rounds: 12

Features

• In cryptography, RC6 (Rivest Cipher 6) is a symmetric key block cipher derived from RC5.

• It was designed by Ron Rivest, Matt Robshaw, Ray Sidney, and Yiqun Lisa Yin

• It was designed to meet the requirements of the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) competition.

• It is a proprietary algorithm, patented by RSA Security.

Functions

• encrypt.py and decrypt.py are used to encrypt and decrypt using user input

• cenc.py and cdec.py are used to encrypt and decrypt using command line input

• helper.py contains helper functions
