Rivest cipher 5 (RC5)

Rivest Cipher 5 (RC5) is a symmetric encryption that uses block ciphers. The method is based on three different mathematical operations: An exclusive-or operation(XOR), an addition, and a shift. These three operations are applied sequentially to parts of the plaintext and the key. The RC5 algorithm enciphers in blocks of 64 bits, performing the transformation twelve times in succession, each time using a different round key.

RC5 is described in RFC 2040.
