The Rc5 Algorithm: Outline

RC5 is a block cipher designed by Ronald Rivest in 1994 that uses a variable block size, key size, and number of rounds. It has a simple structure, low memory requirements, and data-dependent rotations. The RC5 algorithm expands the random key into words that are used sequentially during encryption and decryption, which both operate on the data through a series of rounds.

THE SECURITY OF RC5

CONCLUSION

DESCRIPTION
what is RC5
• RC5 is a block cipher notable for its simplicity.
• It was designed by Ronald Rivest in 1994.
• RC stands for “Rivest Cipher”,or alternatively,“Ron’s code”.

In cryptography,RC5 is a simple symmetric-key block


cipher. Designed by Ronald Rivest in 1994, RC5 is a
parameterized algorithm with a variable block size, a
variable key size, and a variable number of rounds.

• Unlike many schemes, RC5 has a variable block size (32, 64 or


128 bits), key size (0 to 2040 bits) and number of rounds (0 to
255). The original suggested choice of parameters were a block
size of 64 bits, a 128-bit key and 12 rounds.
➢ FEATURES:
• VARIABLE LENGTH Cryptographic key:
The user can choose the level of security
appropriate for his applications.The key length b in
bytes is thus a third parameter of RC5.

• SIMPLE:
It is simple to implement,this Simplicity makes it
more interesting to analyse and evaluate,so that
the cryptographic strength can be more rapidly
determined.

• Low memory Requirements:


So it is easily implemented on devices with
restricted memory

• Data-Dependent rotations:
RC5 highlight the use of data-dependent rotations and encourage
the assessment of the cryptographic strength data-dependent can
provide.

REPRESENTATION:
The RC5 is basically denoted as RC5-w/r/b where w=word
size in bits, r=number of rounds, b=number of 8-bit bytes
in the key.

➢Algorithm
RC5 encryption and decryption both expand the random key into 2(r+1) words
that will be used sequentially (and only once each) during the encryption and
decryption processes.
