Anybody have info on the SEAL cipher? I can't find any descriptions or analysis of it. Refs, proceedings or URLS would be a good thing.
I also am interested in references to it.
I'm told that it was invented by a cryptographer at IBM, and that it patented, so that should help in the search.
Its a Don Coppersmith creation. It is blazingly fast. I believe it is patented.
