Question #: 105
Topic #: 2
[All 312-50 Questions]

Harper, a software engineer, is developing an email application. To ensure the confidentiality of email messages. Harper uses a symmetric-key block cipher having a classical 12- or 16-round Feistel network with a block size of 64 bits for encryption, which includes large 8 x 32-bit S-boxes (S1, S2, S3, S4) based on bent functions, modular addition and subtraction, key-dependent rotation, and XOR operations. This cipher also uses a masking key(Km1)and a rotation key (Kr1) for performing its functions. What is the algorithm employed by Harper to secure the email messages?

Sounds like a pretty complex encryption algorithm! I think it's CAST-128, as it fits the description of a 12- or 16-round Feistel network with 64-bit blocks and large S-boxes.

But what about DES? It's also a popular choice for encryption.
