Rivest cipher 6 (RC6)

Rivest Cipher 6 (RC6) is an algorithm developed by Ronald L. Rivest and intended as a cryptographic standard. RC6 is a modified version of RC5 for the Advanced Encryption Standard( AES). The key length of RC6 can be set between 0 and 255 bytes.

RC6 is designed to be simple, and the risk of errors during implementation is low. The advantage of RC6 is its high speed and security.
