Rivest Cipher 6 (RC6)

RC6 was developed for an advanced encryption standard (AES) competition but was not selected by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). In what year was it published, and who developed it? How is RC6 different from RC5?

Cryptography is a science of secret writing. This technique is to achieve these various algorithms are developed by various people. This paper presents a detailed study of Symmetric Key Algorithms RC4, RC5 and RC6 developed by Rons and other associates. In this study the three algorithms are analysed separately by the block size, key size, encryption and decryption process and the comparative analysis is also performed.
