Hello,
For those people who don't know MISTY, which is listed in "Algorithm
independence" of "Input requested for SET version 2.0 priorities",
please let me introduce it to you.
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.

Please feel free to ask any questions to us. We would be happy to answer
your questions.
