MISTY is a symmetric key cryptographic algorithm and has the following excellent features: (1) Provable Security MISTY is mathematically proved to be strong enough against the two types of known cryptanalysis attack --- differential cryptanalysis and linear cryptanalysis. (2) High Performance MISTY has a parallel computation nature as an algorithm. So you can achieve high performance on both software and hardware. The algorithm itself does NOT depend on any special platforms. You can also get the information about MISTY from the following Web pages. http://mitsubishielectric.com/TechShowcase/Text/tsText06.html http://www.melco.co.jp:80/rd_home/map/j_s/topics/new/misty_e.html Please feel free to ask any questions to us. We would be happy to answer your questions.
