RC6 encryption algorithm
RC6 is a
symmetric key block cipher based on the existing
RC5. It was designed by
Rivest, Sidney and Yin to meet the requirements of the
AES competition. It is proprietary of
RSA Security.
The algorithm was one of the finalists of the AES selection process, which finally picked Rijndael.
