public final class SPEED
extends Cipher
implements SymmetricCipher

SPEED is a block cipher with variable key size, data block size and number of rounds (in the style of RC5).

These parameters are set as follows:

- The key size is taken from the encoded form of the key passed to `initEncrypt` or `initDecrypt`. It can be any even number of bytes from 6 to 32 (6, 8, 10, ... 32).

- The length of the data block defaults to the value of the parameter "Alg.blockSize.SPEED", or 8 bytes (c.f. IDEA and DES) if that parameter is not found. It can be set by calling setBlockSize(), and can be 8, 16, or 32 bytes.

- The number of rounds defaults to the value of the parameter "Alg.rounds.SPEED", or 64 (which gives 'adequate' security according to the paper below) if that parameter is not found. It can be set by calling setRounds(), and can be any number from 32 upwards, divisible by 4 (32, 36, ...).

These are recommended settings for 'adequate' security:

        +--------------------------------------------------+
        |   block size   |   key length   |     rounds     |
        |==================================================|
        |       8        |      >= 8      |     >= 64      |
        |--------------------------------------------------|
        |      16        |      >= 8      |     >= 48      |
        |--------------------------------------------------|
        |      32        |      >= 8      |     >= 48      |
        +--------------------------------------------------+

SPEED was designed by Yuliang Zheng, and is in the public domain.
