30 /*----- Notes on the RC2 block cipher -------------------------------------*
32 * RC2 was designed by Ron Rivest, and for a long time was a trade secret of
33 * RSA Data Security Inc. Like RC4, it leaked out, and has now been
34 * described in RFC2268. The RC2 key schedule is known to have some
35 * weaknesses, although I'm not aware of any major results against the cipher
36 * itself. I'm also not aware of any legal problems with using the RC2
39 * The oddest feature in the cipher is the key schedule. It expands the
40 * initial key material to 128 bytes, and then `brain-damages' it, according
41 * to a supplied `effective key-bits' parameter, before expanding the
42 * remaining key material back into the buffer.
44 * The key schedule allows second preimages to be computed trivially.
