SEAL cipher info requested (something actually list related!)
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. (It isn't related to NSEA is it?!?)

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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ..Christopher Allen Consensus Development Corporation.. ..<ChristopherA@consensus.com> 1563 Solano Avenue #355.. ..

Its a Don Coppersmith creation. It is blazingly fast. I believe it is patented. Perry

I believe it was presented at the first Cambridge security workshop on fast software encryption. Author: Cambridge Security Workshop (1993). Title: Fast software encryption : Cambridge Security Workshop, Cambridge, U.K., December 9-11, 1993 : proceedings / Ross Anderson, (ed.). Pub. Info.: Berlin ; New York : Springer-Verlag, c1994. Phy Descript: ix, 221 p. : ill. ; 24 cm. Notes: Includes bibliographical referenced and title. LC Subject: Computers -- Access-control -- Passwords -- Congresses. Other Author: Anderson, Ross, 1956-.

Correct. The paper is "A Software Optimized Encryption Algorithm", by Phillip Rogaway and Don Coppersmith, pp 56-63 of the proceedings. It is a fast stream cipher. The paper reports encryption rates of 7.2 MBytes/Second on a 486-50.
